New wipes ranges for industrial cleaning
Chicopee, a division of Polymer Group has expanded its products for the industrial and institutional cleaning market with the introduction of new wiping products and packaging.
The move from the current headquarters in North Charleston, South Carolina, is planned to take place by August 2006.
About a dozen executive management positions have been based at the North Charleston site since 2003.
Additionally, employees will be relocated from sites in Dayton, New Jersey, and Mooresville and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The move puts the group closer to its Mooresville manufacturing site, where the company is in the process of a $40 million expansion.
The plant expansion is expected to be completed by the middle of this year and will add about 50 jobs in the North Carolina area, in addition to the positions being moved from the headquarters consolidation.
"This relocation is very much in line with our plans for deliberate growth and expansion, and makes perfect sense for the business," said James Schaeffer, the group's CEO.
"Bringing together these different disciplines under one roof will foster even greater collaboration and co-operation across the company, and also puts us closer to our manufacturing operations and customers".
"In addition, it will improve our efficiencies and provide us with the infrastructure we need to continue to grow our business".
