Headquartered in Muskego, Wisconsin, Inpro hosted a ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, July 28. The 165,000-square-foot manufacturing facility began operations in February.
In 2024, Inpro announced the Mint Hill location at 10681 Clear Creek Commerce Drive, according to a statement from the company. In December 2021, Inpro purchased the lot for $934,500, public records show.
The privately held company did not disclose the cost of building the facility.
The new facility combined the operations of Charlotte-based subsidiary Inpro WT Commercial Window Treatments and Inpro’s Privacy Systems Division in Matthews.
Before combining, Inpro bought and later renamed WT Shade, a roller shade manufacturer, in 2022. The company also made a 2015 purchase of Hinkel, a producer of window shades, cubical curtains and related products.

Across its Muskego, Mint Hill and Phoenix locations, Inpro has about 800 employees.
