Corrugated Partners Group, a company manufacturing material for boxes, plans to build a manufacturing facility in Franklin County.
The $52.7 million, 420,000-square-foot facility in Chambersburg will the company’s first Pennsylvania location and will be known as Keystone Sheets. The project is expected to create at least 80 jobs within the next three years.
The facility will produce single, double, and triple wall corrugated sheets. Its location will allow the company to serve customers in the mid-Atlantic region.
“Manufacturing is an integral part of Pennsylvania’s economy, and I am proud that the DCED (Department of Community and Economic Development) team could assist the Corrugated Partners Group as they establish their first location in Pennsylvania with Keystone Sheets,” DCED Secretary Rick Siger said. “This project is creating 80 new jobs and will have a positive economic impact in Franklin County for years to come.”
The DCED submitted a funding proposal for a $160,000 work force development grant to train workers and a $400,000 Pennsylvania First grant.
The agency also encouraged Corrugated Partners Group to apply for tax credits through the Manufacturing Tax Credit Program.
Corrugated Partners Group, a collaborative network of sheet feeders, employs more than 1,200 people at 15 factories nationwide.
