Gov. Terry McAuliffe today announced that Nomadic Display, a worldwide leader in trade show displays, will create 30 new jobs and invested $940,000 in connection with its headquarters relocation within Fairfax County. Virginia successfully competed with North Carolina for the project.
Nomadic Display, which relocated its headquarters to the Lorton area of Fairfax County in September 2016, will hire its new employees by 2019. Through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP), 61 existing employees will be retrained on new products and processes.
“Nomadic Design has long made its high-quality products in Fairfax County, and it is wonderful to see the company continuing to grow here,” said Gerald L. Gordon, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA). “Advanced, light industrial manufacturing diversifies the Fairfax County economic base and business community and helps provide the county with long-term economic stability.”

Owner Eric Burg expressed how pleased he is to have the business resources and support available in Virginia.
“Fairfax County is truly an exemplary case study on how to keep jobs here in the state. The people are the key, and we rely on their knowledge and experience to provide superior products and customer service. We chose to expand here in Virginia because the highly-skilled workforce provides limitless opportunities for growth and success.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership is supporting Nomadic Display’s job creation and retraining activities through the state-funded Virginia Jobs Investment Program. VJIP provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs or experiencing technological change to support employee training activities.
