Prime 6 Plans Buckhannon, West Virginia, Manufacturing Operations

09/30/2024
Biofuels products manufacturer Prime 6 plans to establish operations in Buckhannon, West Virginia. The $35 million project is expected to create 75 jobs in Upshur County.

The new manufacturing facility is scheduled to begin operations in the coming months.

“I am extremely proud to welcome Prime 6 to Upshur County and West Virginia,” West Virginia Governor Jim Justice said. “Wood has always been a part of our rich history, shaping our economy and way of life for generations. Prime 6’s decision to put down roots with their new facility not only carries on that rich tradition but proves we are the best place to be for growing forward-thinking, sustainable businesses. This facility will bring incredible good-paying jobs to the hardest working group of people Prime 6 could invest in. I thank them for believing in West Virginia as much as I do.”

Prime 6’s biochar is an alternative fuel that is high performing, clean and sustainable, with a variety of applications.

“We are excited to welcome Prime 6 to West Virginia,” Mitch Carmichael, Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Economic Development, noted. “Their commitment to sustainability and community aligns perfectly with our state’s values, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth and success in Buckhannon.”
