Gov. of Georgia Nathan Deal announced today that JSC “Valmieras
stikla šķiedra” will locate its’ first U.S. manufacturing facility
in Dublin, Laurens County. In this U.S. based manufacturing
facility it is planned to create 150 jobs and investing $20 million
within five years.
Valmiera Glass will locate on 40-acres in an Industrial Park on
I-16 in Dublin, Ga. The approximately 80,000-square-foot (~7.4
Thousand square-meter) facility will manufacture higher,
value-added fiberglass products for the North American market.
Because the manufacturing process is highly automated, the company
will require well-trained candidates and the newly created jobs
will be well-paid. Valmiera Glass USA Corp. will also take
advantage of
QuickStart, Georgia’s top-ranked workforce training
program.
“The new headquarter and manufacturing facility in the United
States is a customer-oriented business development step. Valmiera
Glass Group sales increases in North America every year, 14% of the
total turnover of the company are exported directly to the United
States and Canada. Now we will ensure that the products are
available closer to the customer, the products will fall out of
schedule, long-term profitability will increase and we will have a
chance to develop closer partnerships with our key customers. The
manufacturing facility in the USA gives us new opportunities for
business growth and will strengthen Valmiera Glass Group positions
in the market of glass fiber products all over the world,” said
Andre Heinz Schwiontek, the Board Member and Vice President of JSC
“Valmieras stikla šķiedra”.
"The Dublin Lauren's County Development Authority is extremely
happy to have Valmiera join our community,” said Scott Beasley,
Chairman of the Dublin Lauren’s County Development Authority. “They
are very strong financially and will be manufacturing products that
will be used in the automotive industry. We appreciate their
investment into Lauren's County and the jobs that will
follow." “A highly educated workforce is critical for high-tech companies such as Valmiera Glass,” said GDEcD Commissioner Chris Carr. “Without question, Georgia’s advanced labor pool, combined with an interconnected transportation infrastructure and one of the fastest growing container ports in North America, the Port of Savannah, will provide the support that Valmiera Glass needs in order to better reach the North American market.” As already the management of JSC “Valmieras stikla šķiedra” has informed, the planned production start of Valmiera Glass USA Corp. is in the first quarter of 2015, firstly investing USD 6.5 Million (EUR 4.8 Million).
