InPlast USA to Bring 110 New Jobs to Grayson County
InPlast USA, LLC, a joint venture being formed between Plastikon Industries and Injex Industries, has announced its decision to locate a new facility in Grayson County. The operation will produce plastic injected molded components for the automotive and medical markets, creating 110 new jobs and investing $4.7 million in the commonwealth.
The company has acquired an existing 63,500 square-foot building in Leitchfield and plans to renovate the facility to accommodate the injection molding operation. The facility will also require the construction of a clean room for the manufacture of medical diagnostic plastic components.
“Injex and Plastikon are very excited to be locating the InPlast USA plant in Leitchfield, and feel that this is a win-win for all parties involved,” said Mark Petri, director of sales and operations for Injex. “We would like to personally thank the state of Kentucky, Leitchfield Mayor William Thomason and the Grayson County Industrial Foundation for their help in this move to Leitchfield. We look forward to working in the community.”
Plastikon Industries and Injex Industries, respectively based in Hayward, California, were established more than 20 years ago, and specialize in plastic injection molding and assembly for the automotive, medical and diagnostic industries. Combined with a strong business acumen, systematic approach, and diverse customer base, the companies have obtained considerable growth and stability for its employees and communities.
InPlast USA was preliminarily approved by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority for tax benefits up to $2.75 million under the Kentucky Rural Economic Development Act, an incentive program designed to increase employment in the state.
