The company will occupy an existing 140,000-square-foot facility.
"Serioplast stands out not only for its excellence in manufacturing but also for its commitment to sustainability,” said CEO of Serioplast Group Paolo Bergamini. “Our vision for the future is clear: to drive growth and innovation while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability. With our growth in North America, Serioplast is ready to write a new chapter of success. We believe Virginia, with its robust economy, highly skilled workforce, and favorable business environment, is the ideal location for our expansion and long-term success."
To support the project Governor Youngkin approved a $180,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund. Support for?Serioplast’s job creation will be provided through the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program. The program, created by VEDP in collaboration with higher education partners, accelerates new facility startups through the direct delivery of recruitment and training services that are fully customized to a company’s unique products, processes, equipment, standards and culture. All program services are provided at no cost to qualified new and expanding companies as an incentive for job creation.
“Global manufacturers like?Serioplast are recognizing Virginia is the top choice for doing business,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. “We are proud that the Commonwealth attracted Serioplast into the Shenandoah Valley where their packaging products will go hand-in-hand with the manufacturing mecca that the valley has grown to encompass.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the Shenandoah Valley Partnership and Shenandoah County to secure the project.
“We are very pleased to work with and welcome a respected international company that strengthens the manufacturing sector in Shenandoah County and the region,” added Shenandoah Valley Partnership Executive Director Jay Langston.
Serioplast’s packaging has been used by companies in the consumer goods industry, including home care and laundry, food, personal care, and pharma markets. The company currently operates 33 production sites across 16 countries.
