AB Emblem is one of Weaverville's most notable industries. It has two other factories--in Mexico and China--in addition to its Weaverville plant.
Perhaps the most famous client of AB Emblem products are the NASA astronauts. In talking with executive vice president Andrew Nagle this week--who is also running for Weaverville Town Council this fall--he estimated the plant produced 30,000 patches per shuttle launch and patches worn by NASA astronauts on flight missions are made in AB Emblem factories.
The plant moved to Weaverville in 1963.
