Valorflex Packaging, a U.S.-based company, has announced a new production plant in Kentucky with a budget of USD 23.4 million. The new plant is expected to help the company’s ongoing expansion and innovation. It currently focuses on lamination, flexographic printing services, and pouch production. The client base of the company is around food, tobacco, pet food, and beauty products.

CEO of ValorFlex Packaging, Thomas Hazlette, expressed his views on the announcement, saying, “This is more than an expansion – it’s a homecoming. We chose Bowling Green because it embodies the values we believe in – a dedication to people, a focus on workforce, and a strong community. It’s the perfect place for our team to grow, and we’re proud to call it our New Kentucky Home.”

The bowling green plant has been helping to improve the company’s market presence. The idea of moving the plant to the area is attributed to the area’s business climate, mainly advanced logistics and skilled workforce. The officials review this as an endorsement of Warren County’s potential.

The Governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, also believes that the manufacturing industry in Kentucky is witnessing continuous growth and is also boosting the state’s economy rapidly.

He mentioned, “As companies from coast-to-coast look to expand and relocate businesses, many are quickly realising the commonwealth checks every box as one of the most business-friendly environments in the country.

“ValorFlex’s relocation will be a welcome addition to Bowling Green and the local economy, providing quality job opportunities for the region’s workforce. I look forward to the company’s future success here in Kentucky.”

Doug Gorman, the judge/executive, also welcomed the company, mentioning the goals and priorities of the company, which will help towards the growth. Bowling Green also believes that the project is a prime example of how ValorFlex is managing to bring good jobs and long-term investments to the city.
