Manufacturing exits in Kannapolis
What Kannapolis homes mean for manufacturing exits
Kannapolis is the clearest case in the region of a mill town that had to rebuild its industrial base after its anchor textile employer closed, and what replaced it is smaller, more varied, and more food and life-science oriented. The companies now in the $5M to $20M range are often second acts founded by people who came out of the mill economy, which means short operating histories in their current form but deep technical lineage. Sellers here frequently hold legacy industrial buildings whose value is separate from, and sometimes larger than, the operating business inside them.

Kannapolis companies frequently occupy legacy industrial property whose value is separate from, and sometimes larger than, the operating business inside it. Getting an independent appraisal of the real estate before going to market is what keeps a buyer from allocating value between the two on terms the seller has no basis to dispute.
