EPC-Columbia Inc. is expanding the company’s manufacturing operation in Lebanon.
Allowing Increased Manufacturing
The industry-leading plastic injection molding company is investing $3.6 million to expand and add 40,000-square-feet to its manufacturing facility in Marion County.
The additional room will allow for increased manufacturing operations, office space and equipment to meet growing customer demand.
“We are extremely excited to be expanding our operations and continue working within the Marion County community,” said Reza Kargarzadeh, President of EPC-Columbia. “I want to thank everyone who made this project possible, including the hard-working, dedicated employees of EPC-Columbia, local officials and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development. We are thrilled to enter this next chapter as a company and look forward to continuing to provide quality products and services to our customers around the world.”
When finished, this will bring the facility’s total operating space to nearly 300,000-square-feet.
The investment will add 21 full-time jobs, bringing the company’s total Kentucky employment to 430.
