Haywood Vocational Opportunities

Haywood Vocational Opportunities, commonly branded as HVO, is a North Carolina-based non-profit social enterprise that combines vocational and community programs for adults with disabilities with commercial medical device contract manufacturing. The organization manufactures disposable healthcare products and provides custom medical packaging, contract assembly, surgical drapes, fluid pouches, sterile packaging, design and development support, and 3PL/logistics services. HVO operates ISO 13485-registered medical device manufacturing with ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 controlled environments and substantial manufacturing and warehouse capacity in Waynesville, North Carolina. Unlike a biotech or therapeutic drug developer, HVO is a services and manufacturing organization focused on medical products rather than a clinical pipeline. Its business supports both healthcare customers and its mission of employment, training, and community engagement for people with disabilities.
