Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has announced that it will invest $67.25 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Winchester and establish a new distribution center in nearby Frederick County. The moves are expected to create 71 new jobs.

The expansion in Winchester will allow the company to increase its production capabilities and improve its energy efficiency by replacing older equipment with state-of-the-art injection molding equipment. In Frederick County, the company is taking over the now-vacant G.E. Lighting facility and will convert this into an updated 454,000-square-foot global logistics center.
