The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is set to provide an investment exceeding $1.5m to aid the expansion of REV Copack, a beverage packaging company based in Luzerne County, US.
The expansion is set to more than double the company’s manufacturing capacity, creating at least 132 new full-time jobs while retaining 18 existing positions. The increased output capacity will be achieved through the addition of new production lines.
The new facility, which will involve a $3.1m investment from REV Copack, will add two production lines, bringing the total to at least four production lines for its beverage packaging operation.
The company has outgrown its current Jenkins Township location and is moving to a larger facility to accommodate the expansion.
Pennsylvania’s governor Josh Shapiro stated that the investment will be facilitated by the commonwealth body to support this development.
REV Copack has also received a financial proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a $1.5m Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority loan and a $55,000 WEDnetPA grant for worker training.
