After receiving its board’s approval Thursday afternoon, Kimberly-Clark Corp. announced it will build an $800 million advanced manufacturing facility on approximately 560 acres of the former RG Steel property. Approximately 500 full-time, permanent jobs are expected to be created with a projected annual payroll of $49.1 million.
“This landmark investment represents a strategic bet on the American consumer and our ability to drive innovation-led sustainable growth for Kimberly-Clark,” said Russ Torres, Group President, Kimberly-Clark North America. “It reflects the confidence we have in our long-term growth plans and complements a broad range of commercial and R&D investments we have been making throughout the business as part of our Powering Care transformation journey.”
For the personal care and hygiene product producer, this marks its first facility in Ohio. Kimberly-Clark said the new facility will be “in geographic proximity to roughly 117 million consumers” and referred to it “as a vital hub for the Northeast and Midwest regions.”
The announcement was made as Kimberly-Clark detailed plans to invest $2 billion in its North America operations over the next five years.
“Kimberly-Clark’s decision to make its first Ohio investment in Trumbull County would not have happened without close collaboration from our partner at Lake to River as well as at the state and local level to establish a site that is attractive for both rapid development and long-term growth,” said J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio president and CEO.
“We all look forward to working closely alongside Kimberly-Clark as it launches its new operations and creates 491 jobs at a new, cutting-edge manufacturing facility.”
