Furnace supplier Elnik Systems is moving to Pineville and bringing dozens of jobs to the Charlotte area.

Elnik is investing $3.1 million total in the project, according to the county office.
The company is going into the Carolina Logistics Park. Construction has begun on the 202,000-square-foot facility on Carolina Logistics Lane, of which Elnik will lease 56,771 square feet, according to the county office. Elnik is expected to be operational in early summer.
The move creates 55 jobs with an average annual salary of $63,636.
Mecklenburg County offers a business-friendly environment and skilled labor force, Elnik Systems president Stefan Joens said in a statement. “We are positioning the company for strong growth and the right location is a major part of that strategy,” he said.
Elnik Systems was approved for a three-year Business Investment Program Grant not to exceed $24,670, according to the county office.
