Deanna Hodges, founder and CEO of Hodges International, started the company in 2020 with the goal of bringing manufacturing back to the United States.

“It is such an honour to lead the charge to bring the cut and sew industry back to North Carolina and inspire a new generation of designers and sewing operators. Tukatech has proven its success globally and helped us create a facility that is extremely efficient and streamlined. We couldn’t have partnered with a better technology solutions provider,” she said.

The factory, also known as the Sparty Mill, is the first smart factory of its kind in North Carolina and is expected to create hundreds of new jobs in the region. It will also provide a platform for the development of new technologies and products.
