Protocase, ProtoSpace Mfg, and 45Drives are set to mark a significant milestone in their business expansion with the launch of a new U.S. production and assembly facility in Wilmington, North Carolina. The companies will host an open house event on March 27, 2025, to celebrate their new 11,000-square-foot facility located in Maritime North Business Park.
The new facility represents a strategic move to enhance manufacturing capabilities within the United States. Company executives, including Dr. Doug Milburn, Co-founder of Protocase and President of 45Drives, emphasize the importance of local production and job creation. The event will provide an opportunity for industry partners, including representatives from North Carolina for Military Employment, Bank of America, Wilmington Business Development, and local educational institutions, to explore the new operations.
As part of the expansion, Dr. Milburn will also present at the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Cameron School of Business, discussing innovation strategies in his presentation ‘How to do Innovation in Paradise.’ With over 35 years of experience in manufacturing, engineering, and software development, Milburn brings extensive knowledge about scaling technology businesses in non-traditional innovation centers.
The three companies – Protocase, ProtoSpace Mfg, and 45Drives – specialize in custom manufacturing, electronic enclosures, and data storage solutions. Their collaborative approach to establishing a U.S. manufacturing hub demonstrates a commitment to supporting domestic technology and engineering sectors.
By investing in local infrastructure and workforce development, these companies are positioning themselves to better serve customers, streamline operations, and contribute to the regional economic ecosystem. The new Wilmington facility is expected to create job opportunities and showcase the potential for innovative manufacturing in emerging technological landscapes.
