EMPIRE OF CAROLINA INC

EMPIRE OF CAROLINA INC

Empire of Carolina Inc, operating under SIC 3949 in the Games, Toys & Children's Vehicles (No Dolls & Bicycles) sector, designs and manufactures rugged, seated ride-on vehicles and complementary play accessories that retail through specialty toy stores and rural automotive retailers for families seeking durable outdoor recreation items for children. The company leverages legacy tooling and regional distribution partnerships to keep pricing competitive while offering service parts and limited warranty coverage, yet it remains exposed to cyclical consumer spending, tariff volatility, and evolving safety regulations that govern lead content and mechanical durability for children’s transportation products. Financial disclosure is sparse—the most recent filing is the Form 10-Q submitted in November 1999—so investors must weigh the paucity of current reporting alongside long-term product plan updates, continuing regulatory scrutiny, and production cost pressures tied to steel prices. CIK 312840 anchors the public record, and interested readers should view live SEC filings on Earnings Feed.
