Jay Hubbard and his wife Christie opened the doors to their manufacturing start-up in April 2013. Located in the Hurlock Industrial Park, Daystar Manufacturing provides injection molding solutions for their customers. Small and medium size plastic injection molded parts can be custom designed and manufactured at their facility as well.

The Hubbard’s started their business in hopes of providing jobs and careers to residents that have struggled while looking for employment. “I love the rural environment and the down-home friendliness you find in Dorchester County,” said Jay. Currently they employ three people and hope to increase their size in the upcoming year.

The Town of Hurlock, the Dorchester County Economic Development office, and the Eastern Shore Entrepreneurial Center worked together with Daystar to provide technical assistance and guidance when they started their business. Daystar is well on its way with four customers and are positioned and ready for more contracts.
