Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited the area on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company’s Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. “One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina,” Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. “Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the Southeast for manufacturing.” But Stein added that it isn’t just Smith’s commercial savvy that earned him the award. “What’s remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it,” Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company’s 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard

Boviet Solar's Greenville facility has been sold to Indian group

The sale of a solar panel manufacturer that started operations in Greenville last year hasn’t stopped work at the location in Indigreen Corporate Park. Boviet Solar Technology LLC announced earlier this year that INOX Solar Americas LLC was purchasing 100% of its United States facilities, including the growing Greenville facility, for $750 million. The acquisition was completed in late May, but some contracts, such as the economic development agreements Boviet had with the City of Greenville and Pitt County government, had to be transitioned. Records with the Pitt County Register of Deeds show that on Oct. 28, the transfer of ownership of nearly 34.5 acres of property on Sugg Parkway north of Greenville, along with the buildings, was finalized for $48 million. An additional 79 acres, plus a manufacturing facility under construction, is still owned by Boviet Solar Americas LLC. The news release announcing the sale said the new manufacturing facility should begin quality assurance checks in December. The Greenville facility manufactures panels for solar power generation. Boviet is a Vietnamese company; INOX is based in India. With its acquisition, INOX gains an operational capacity of 3 GW of solar module manufacturing, identified as top-end, N-Type technology.

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel
