MEBANE, N.C. - Medline Industries will invest $65 million to build a new distribution center in Mebane, N.C., that will create 250 new jobs in Orange County, Gov. Roy Cooper has announced. The distribution center will be 1.2 million square feet and will be LEED certified. “As we expand our footprint to help reach more healthcare providers in the Southeast, Mebane is an ideal location for a distribution facility,” said Bill Abington, executive vice president of global operations for Medline. At full capacity, Medline expects to employ about 600 at the distribution center. The company will receive a performance-based grant of $500,000 from the One North Carolina Fund to build the distribution center. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract economic investment and create jobs. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to quality for payment.
