Bemis president and CEO William Austen said: "Bemis’ expansion of our healthcare packaging facility in Oshkosh complements our existing capabilities that are supported by a talented management team and an excellent workforce.

"As we extend our technological leadership in this global market, we are pleased with the additional opportunities that this investment will create for our healthcare packaging business."

The company will receive two loans of $1m each from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to support the expansion project.

One of the two loans will be waived off if the company is able to create 160 new full-time jobs and retain its existing 161 jobs through at least 2018.

The city of Oshkosh is also assisting with the project through the creation of a tax incremental financing district and by funding stormwater facilities to control runoff from Bemis and other nearby businesses.
