HZO, a manufacturer protective nano coatings that safeguard electronics from the most demanding and corrosive liquid environments, recently unveiled its new headquarters in Morrisville to accommodate the company’s rapid global growth and need to access top technical talent in the region home to some of the world’s leading high-tech companies.
Located in Research Triangle Park in the Morrisville business district, the November opening of the new headquarters attracted government officials, plus university and business leaders – and was highlighted during an open house featuring remarks by Morrisville Mayor TJ Cawley and John Hardin, Executive Director of the Office of Science, Technology & Innovation in the North Carolina Department of Commerce.

“We’ve seen tremendous growth in the region and Morrisville continues to attract companies leading in innovation,” said Cawley. “We welcome HZO’s decision to move their headquarters to North Carolina, with access to a robust ecosystem of talent and competitive advantage.”
The new facility provides HZO with up to 10 times more U.S. based manufacturing space, four times more research and development space and three times more lab space supporting customer demand for thin-film waterproof protection.
Attendees were given the opportunity to tour the company’s 24,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility – including the operational manufacturing space where waterproofing production comes to life, enabled by HZO’s waterproofing technology.
HZO’s relocation from Salt Lake City, UT, to North Carolina is the latest example of how the Research Triangle metropolitan region is attracting national attention due to its impressive growth driven by a diverse and vibrant business climate. HZO expects to bring over 500 jobs to the state over the next five years, including jobs in engineering, manufacturing, material sciences, and general business disciplines.
“Innovation is at the heart of our company,” said Stephen Gold, Chief Commercial Officer at HZO. “We wanted to center ourselves in a community that affords us access to top talent, university partnerships, cutting-edge technology, and a great quality of life.”
