Hive Plastics Plans Iron County, Utah, Manufacturing Operations
07/25/2025
“Iron County offers the right mix of infrastructure, workforce, and location,” said Hive Plastics owner Joe Brough. “The new inland port rail facilities in Iron Springs will give us long-term logistical advantages, especially as we scale up operations and rely more on bulk shipments.”
The company’s new 23,300-square-foot manufacturing facility will be located in the Iron Springs Project Area.
To support the project the Utah Inland Port Authority (UIPA Board) approved a post-performance property tax rebate equal to 10 percent of the company’s annual property tax liability for up to 25 years. The rebate only applies if the company remains operational within the project area and meets other performance benchmarks.
“This is a smart, strategic win for Iron County,” noted Ben Hart, executive director of UIPA. “It turns undeveloped land into economic opportunity, brings in a new employer, and reinforces Iron Springs as a destination for advanced manufacturing in rural Utah.”
