The Protocase Companies and Advanced Glazings announced a career fair at their Wilmington, North Carolina facility on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The event reflects continued momentum across their manufacturing, engineering, and technology divisions as they expand U.S. operations to meet increasing demand from customers across aerospace, defense, advanced electronics, and data infrastructure.
The career fair comes at a pivotal moment as The Protocase Companies scale their High Velocity Mass Customization (HVMC™) model in the United States. This proprietary approach enables customers to move from design to physical product in days rather than weeks, with the Wilmington facility representing a strategic extension of this model that strengthens domestic production capabilities. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore careers across three distinct but tightly integrated companies: Protocase, a global leader in rapid manufacturing; 45Drives, a pioneer in open-source data storage delivering scalable solutions; and ProtoSpace Mfg, an advanced manufacturing division supporting aerospace and high-performance sectors.
The organization is actively hiring across manufacturing and production, mechanical and electrical engineering, technical services and support, sales and customer experience, and operations and logistics. Central to The Protocase Companies’ growth is a distinct approach to culture and hiring summed up internally as ‘working differently,’ which prioritizes hiring for attitude and aptitude, empowering employees to take ownership of outcomes, encouraging initiative and rapid problem-solving, and maintaining a collaborative environment. Dr. Doug Milburn, Chairman of the Protocase Companies and Advanced Glazings, stated that the career fair offers candidates an opportunity to see this environment firsthand and understand how they can grow with the organization.
In addition to roles across The Protocase Companies, Advanced Glazings will also be hiring at the event with a focus on sales and customer support positions as demand surges for next-generation building materials. The company’s proprietary Solera® system is redefining how buildings use natural light by capturing, diffusing, and retaining solar energy to dramatically reduce heating and lighting costs without sacrificing design flexibility. Unlike legacy translucent glazing solutions, Advanced Glazings’ technology delivers superior insulation, resilience in harsh climates, and measurable operational savings over the life of a building, representing a category shift from passive daylighting to active energy performance.
The event will take place at Maritime North Business Park, 4270 US Hwy 421 N, Wilmington, NC, where candidates will have direct access to leadership, facility tours, and insight into company culture. No appointment is required and the public is welcome to drop by at any point during the event.
