GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — A few months after beginning operations in Gaston County, Newell Brands Inc. has formally unveiled its massive industrial facility there.

The company held a ribbon-cutting event Tuesday alongside local officials for its 1.5 million-square-foot distribution center, which is one of the largest industrial buildings in the Charlotte region. Newell employs just over 150 workers there now, a company executive said yesterday. The facility is, to this point, the marquee project to land at Gateway85, NorthPoint Development’s 365-acre industrial park between Gastonia and Lowell along Interstate 85.
The Gaston County facility is a key piece of Newell’s Project Ovid initiative, the company’s multiyear effort to remake its U.S. supply-chain model.
