Investing $3.65M in Mid-South Industrial Park and Creating 46 Jobs
The Rowan EDC announces that Ever Home Plastics LLC (Ever Home), a subsidiary of Vacane Home Concepts Inc., will establish its first U.S. production facility in Rowan County. The company plans to invest $3.65 million and create 46 new jobs over the next four years, with an average annual salary of $57,826.
The company’s expansion into Rowan County complements its existing operations in Vietnam.

Founded in 2006, Vacane Home Concepts Inc. has grown into a leader in innovative houseware products, holding over 290 patents across various product lines. The company’s expansion into Rowan County marks its first manufacturing venture in the United States, complementing existing operations in Vietnam.
Leo Hu, Owner and CEO of Vacane, has expressed a commitment to delivering high-quality products that inspire and empower customers to create organized, functional environments. “We’re eager to bring more job opportunities to our Rowan community, supporting workforce development that will contribute to the long-term prosperity of the region,” said Hu.
Rod Crider, President of Rowan EDC, noted the significance of this development: “The reuse of Mid-South Industrial Park demonstrates Rowan County’s ability to attract a diverse range of industries by offering turnkey facilities in a strategic location. We look forward to seeing Ever Home Plastics LLC become a part of our business community.”
The Rowan EDC worked closely with the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina to assist Ever Home Plastics LLC in choosing Rowan County for its new operation. In addition, the Rowan EDC collaborated with the North Carolina Community College System to arrange workforce training through Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, highlighting the vital role of partnerships in driving economic growth.
