Officials say a new company plans to open a high-tech manufacturing facility in central Kentucky, creating nearly 200 new jobs.
Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement on Wednesday that U.S. Medical Glove Co. LLC plans to invest $32.5 million to purchase, retrofit and expand an existing facility in Paris that will employ 192 people and produce medical-grade gloves.
The company’s automated manufacturing operation is expected to start next year with the production of more than 1 billion Liberty Gloves.
Initially, the company plans to hire 45 computer technicians and hire additional staff as new production lines are installed.
