Building On Success

The Hollingsworth Companies Industrial Building Program doesn’t just build industrial facilities. We build businesses. Because we are likely to own all the real estate surrounding any of our facilities that you might select, we take a very serious interest in making sure your business is successful and growing. Our business grows when your business thrives, so it is only natural for us to want to see you do well. The list of creative solutions to business challenges is as long as our 50 years of combined experience, and it will continue to get longer.

Company History

Mr. Hollingsworth has been extensively involved in Southern economic growth, especially in his state of birth, Tennessee. He served as Vice Chairman of the Tennessee Board of Economic Growth, which developed the first long-term economic strategy in Tennessee’s history. The Hollingsworth Companies was founded when, at age 15, Joe Hollingsworth Jr. built his first house. Since then, Mr. Hollingsworth has built a corporate umbrella that encompasses a network of privately controlled and developed businesses throughout the South and across the globe.

SouthPoint Business Parks, with locations in Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, provide a platform for the organization to provide venture capital for industrial start-up businesses and companies looking to expand into the region.

“Joe Hollingsworth participated as one of our first equity investors. In addition, Joe Hollingsworth has served as a board member and leading advisor for strategic planning and direction.” — Scott Kelley, President and CEO, Service Center Metals
