Gov. Bev Perdue today joined executives from LF USA to announce that the multinational consumer goods export and logistics group has opened an office in Greensboro. LF USA is a subsidiary of Hong Kong-headquartered Li & Fung Limited.
With a total of 30,000 square feet, the LF USA office will house key functions including accounting and finance, treasury management, transaction services, logistics and customs compliance. The office is located at 4620 Grandover Parkway.
“Creating jobs is my top priority,” Gov. Perdue said. “North Carolina’s skilled and knowledgeable workforce and our tremendous business climate continue to make North Carolina attractive to globally competitive companies. We welcome these new jobs and investment by LF USA to Greenboro, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Headquartered in New York, LF USA is a leader in the design, development and marketing of fashion brands, licensed apparel, footwear, accessories and home to major department stores and mass retailers like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom's, Macy's, Kohl's, JC Penney and Walmart.
