In February 2024, Drylock Technologies, a Belgium-based global hygiene products manufacturer, announced that it would open its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Reidsville. At the time of the announcement, the company committed to creating 113 new jobs and investing more than $26.9 million in Rockingham County within three years, with plans to grow to 150 jobs and more than $30 million in investment within five years.
In just two years, Drylock has surpassed those five-year commitments. The company now employs 212 people at its Reidsville facility and has invested more than $31 million in the operation—exceeding its five-year employment goal by more than 40 percent while continuing to grow its presence in Rockingham County.
Since its announcement, Drylock has transformed an existing 450,000-square-foot facility in Reidsville into a state-of-the-art manufacturing operation, bringing production of its personal care products for the U.S. market closer to its American customers.
Drylock Technologies is a family-owned global manufacturer specializing in innovative baby, feminine, and adult care hygiene products. Headquartered in Belgium, the company has built its international presence around innovation, advanced manufacturing, and sustainability.
