Life in Conway

Located in the eastern part of the state, Conway is a small North Carolina town within 100 miles of Richmond, Norfolk-Virginia Beach and the Raleigh-Durham area. Our Conway team has strong ties to the local community. We recently sponsored the town's annual charity golf tournament, and several of our associates are active in the volunteer Conway Fire Department, to which Bakelite donates essential emergency services equipment. A nearby attraction is the Roanoke River, which flows across North Carolina's coastal plain and is home to lots of wildlife, including more than 200 species of birds. You can also explore the Roanoke Canal Museum and Trail, which highlights the historical significance the canal system played in westward expansion and trade. With the Norfolk International Airport just an hour and a half away, you can easily hop a flight to anywhere in the world.
