ValorFlex Packaging of Kentucky Relocates-Plans Bowling Green, Kentucky, Headquarters Operations

08/04/2025
Flexible packaging provider ValorFlex Packaging of Kentucky plans to relocate and establish corporate headquarters operations in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The $6.4 million project is expected to create 25 jobs in Warren County.

“Establishing our corporate headquarters in Bowling Green is both a strategic and personal decision,” said Thomas Hazlette, president and CEO of ValorFlex Holdings of Kentucky. “This community offers the talent, infrastructure and business environment we need to lead our company into its next phase of growth. We’re excited to cultivate long-lasting roots here and to continue to invest in a place that reflects our values of servant leadership and taking care of people while it supports our long-term vision.”

To support the project the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) today preliminarily approved a 15-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based agreement can provide up to $750,000 in tax incentives based on the company’s investment of $6.4 million and annual targets of: Creation and maintenance of 25 Kentucky-resident, full-time jobs across 15 years; and paying an average hourly wage of $67, including benefits, across those jobs.

“Kentucky’s surging economy is attracting businesses from all over the country ready to tap into our prime location, low energy costs and skilled workforce,” Governor Andy Beshear noted. “Today’s announcement is an exciting next step for ValorFlex as they further establish operations in Warren County. I want to thank the company’s leadership for their belief in the commonwealth. There are many different places a company can consider when looking to relocate, and we are glad they made the decision to establish their new home here in Kentucky.”

By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments.

“The arrival of ValorFlex Holdings of Kentucky will further diversify our thriving business community. Their servant-leadership philosophy and investment in high-quality jobs align perfectly with Warren County’s people-first focus that defines this region,” added Ron Bunch, President and CEO of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce.

ValorFlex Packaging of Kentucky Inc. specializes in custom pouching, lamination and flexographic printing. The company serves clients in the food and beverage, pet food, health and beauty and specialty product sectors.
