The Triad Region has a long history of doing large-scale,
world class manufacturing. As many jobs in textile,
furniture and tobacco manufacturing have disappeared, the
strength of the region as a manufacturing hub has resurfaced
in Advance Manufacturing. The future looks bright for
Advance Manufacturing because the Triad has excellent infrastructure
for manufacturing and distribution, and the region has favorable
weather conditions, keeping plants busy all year long.
Advanced Manufacturing is much more high-tech than traditional
manufacturing. Machines are computerized, running sophisticated
programs that require operators to have more highly developed
technical skills. Click
