This will be good news for citizens in Hickory and Caldwell County.

From Area Development Magazine:

“Nearly 90 years ago, Moses George, a Lebanese immigrant, and his two sons started this company with two trucks and 12 employees.†[…]

“Through hard work and vision, and a supportive environment for their business, this family built a company that now employs more than seventeen hundred people in North Carolina. It’s an inspiring, North Carolina story.â€
