Huntersville Market

Huntersville is home to national and internationally known companies and some of the Town’s largest employers are: SABIC Innovative Plastics, Rubbermaid, Irwin Industrial Tools, Max Daetwyler Corporation, American Tire Distributors, Inc., Presbyterian Hospital, McGuire Nuclear Station, Siegling America, Americredit, Metrolina Greenhouses and Joe Gibbs Racing to name a few. The Town has worked with the other North Mecklenburg Towns of Cornelius, Davidson, as well as the Chamber of Commerce to create the Lake Norman Regional Economic Development Corporation to help the region attract more commercial and industrial tax base. The LNREDC seeks to find and prepare new sites as it works to bring new businesses to the area. The three towns are unique in their cooperation together and with Mecklenburg County for economic development. The three towns are joint owners of Commerce Station, an industrial park across from Lake Norman Charter School off Old Statesville Road in Huntersville. Each of the three towns will share the revenue and expenses of building the park – a first in North Carolina for this type of economic development venture. The work of the LNREDC has attracted the park’s first tenant in 2005 with Prairie Packaging (now known as Pactiv Corporation), an Illinois-based plastics manufacturing company who located its Southeast manufacturing hub in Huntersville, creating 242 new jobs and investing more than $48 million in the area. The LNREDC added the park’s second tenant in 2010 in that Swiss-based ABB, the global leader in power and automation technology, will manufacture high-voltage land power cables for use in AC and DC applications. ABB is investing approximately $90 million in the new manufacturing facility, which will employ more than 100 people.
