BLUFFCO iNDUSTRiES

BLUFFCO iNDUSTRiES was founded in 2025 to explore and incorporate all possible solutions to the many sorts of challenges that persist within the communities of Madison County, North Carolina.

Named after our “mother mountain,” Bluffco is born to redirect the abilities of its founder - including design, fabrication, marketing, media production, (web) communication, logistics and plain ol’ “roll-up-your-sleeves” hard work - to help our mountain neighbors and businesses recover, rebuild and thrive in a quickly evolving new-world economy.

For over four decades, John Kretschmer traveled to globe as a production designer for motion pictures and television. “Art department folks are well-suited to face unknown challenges, in unknown lands by incorporating the local talents and resources to accomplish amazing results,” says John, “and now it is time to utilize this very fortunate experience within the bio-region to achieve the same.”
