The company has also received the Economic Development Investment Grant from the City of Salisbury to support the expansion.

Rowan County also offered additional funding to Henkel in support of the project.

According to the company, both the grants offered by the city and the county will serve as performance-based incentives, helping the company to meet predetermined employment goals.

Salisbury mayor Al Heggins said: “It has been City Council’s pleasure to work with the Rowan EDC on this venture over the past few months.

“Our unanimous decisions to provide incentive grants towards this project demonstrates Council’s strong support of Henkel’s future growth in our community.

“The benefits that this type of economic development brings to Salisbury is significant – jobs, an increased tax base and industry. We’re honoured that Henkel has chosen to expand in our fair city.”

Earlier this month, the packaging and consumer goods division of Henkel launched EPIX technology to support sustainable packaging materials.
