Gastonia On the Map As Global Spandex Headquarters

RadiciSpandex, a major supplier of Spandex to the world's joggers and '80s hair metal bands, has announced it will base its primary headquarters in Gastonia. The sprawling Spandex compound which overlooks Interstate 85 is already home to some other Radici Group operations, including its global distribution warehouse. Former global product manager for Fashion Applications Preston Kelly says, “Gastonia will see the addition of an entire staff of accounting, planning, and customer services jobs in the community. All of these measures are aimed at making us the preferred spandex supplier in the western hemisphere.” Gastonia residents are being encouraged to wear more Spandex in support of the company's investment in the community.
