Why this matters in The Atlanta
The success of Vintage Modern, Inc. in Buford reflects the region's growing reputation as a hub for innovative manufacturing and skilled labor. With 160 employees handcrafting high-end vehicles, the company is tapping into Gwinnett County's talented workforce, which has been a key factor in its rapid expansion. The fact that nearly half of Vintage Modern's clients are women also suggests that the company is filling a niche in the local market, where traditional classic car enthusiasts have often been predominantly male. As the company continues to grow and expand, it will be worth watching how it contributes to the local economy and whether its unique approach to merging old and new designs will inspire other entrepreneurs in the region. With its commitment to using local talent and resources, Vintage Modern is poised to become a flagship example of Atlanta's thriving business community.
