In May, Hayward Holdings, a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad portfolio of pool equipment and technology, celebrated the opening of its new corporate headquarters in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood with a ribbon cutting featuring three-time Olympic Gold medalist Rowdy Gaines; Hayward CEO Kevin Holleran; and a team of company employees.
Hayward has deep connections to North Carolina. Since 1995, the company has had a manufacturing facility in Clemmons, which today employs more than 1,000 people. In October, Hayward furthered its commitment to North Carolina with the opening of a 324,000-square-foot distribution facility in Mocksville, North Carolina.
Last year, the company also announced its intention to relocate its New Jersey headquarters to North Carolina. The company’s new 21,000-square-foot office is located in the Vantage South End building and houses approximately 90 employees, including Hayward’s senior management, human resources, finance, legal, information technology and sales and marketing teams. Hayward is hiring across the Charlotte metropolitan area, with open positions posted at hayward.com/careers.
“Since 1995, Clemmons has served as our manufacturing hub, and I am excited that we’re adding to that presence by moving our headquarters here to the Queen City,” Holleran says. “We want to be a great neighbor and an active part of this community. Every day in Clemmons and now here in Charlotte, we are using cutting-edge technology to develop products that save energy and help people make the most of their pools and backyards. We want to continue growing and developing our team here in North Carolina and look forward to taking advantage of the strong talent pool in the area.”
