Once known as a thriving furniture and textiles manufacturing region, Mitchell County has emerged from that era keenly focused on the future. Today we are home to global corporations such as Quartz Corporation, Sibelco and BRP. Alongside these international companies is a community of artists, craftspeople, alternative agricultural enterprises, service and health care providers and other small businesses that complete and balance our economy. It’s been said that Mitchell County is a “creative” community and we tend to agree. Our talented workforce forges their knowledge and skill with creativity to help their businesses find solutions and develop new products for the future.
