10/08/2025
Lefko USA Inc., a blow-molding plastics manufacturer, plans to establish operations in New Braunfels, Texas. The more than $15 million project is expected to create approximately 150 jobs in Comal County over the next five years.

The company’s new 70,000-square-foot facility, located at 2625 Goodwin Lane, will serve customers in Mexico and the Southern U.S. and manufacture custom blow-molded plastic parts, components and products,

“We are proud to grow our operations in New Braunfels and the state of Texas,” said Lefko CEO Eric Blondeau. “Texas’ commitment to advanced manufacturing and its central location give us the competitive advantage we need to serve both national and global markets. The collaboration with New Braunfels city leaders and the State of Texas made the difference in our final choice, and we look forward to a long and successful future here.”

To support the project a Texas Enterprise Fund grant of $968,500 has been extended to Lefko. In addition, the company has been offered a $19,000 Veteran Created Job Bonus.

“Texas manufacturers keep industries moving forward,” noted Governor Greg Abbott. “This $15 million investment by Lefko to establish their first U.S.-based advanced manufacturing facility in New Braunfels will create good-paying jobs for hardworking Texans. Thanks to our skilled and growing workforce, easy access to domestic and international markets, and the best business climate in America, ‘Made in Texas’ has never been a more powerful global brand.”

Lefko, a subsidiary of Centrik Capital, Inc., specializes in custom blow molding for medium to large plastic parts serving the recreation, powersports, medical, industrial, and trucking sectors.

“This win reflects the extraordinary results we achieve when we approach economic development as a region,” added Sarah Carabias Rush, President & CEO of greater:SATX. “Together with our partners in New Braunfels, we demonstrated the full strength and competitiveness of the Greater San Antonio region, making a compelling case for Lefko Plastics to choose this region for growth. We are proud to welcome Lefko to our community and look forward to supporting their success as they join our thriving advanced manufacturing ecosystem.”

“Lefko’s decision to launch their first U.S. operation outside of Canada right here in New Braunfels is a tremendous win for our community,” said New Braunfels Economic Development Corporation Board President Shane Hines. “These new manufacturing jobs are possible thanks to the strong partnership and support from the City of New Braunfels, Comal County, and the State of Texas.”
