A paper products producer plans to open a new $47.9 million in Boone County, according to an announcement from the governor’s office.
Matrix Pack North America, which produces sustainable and environmentally conscious paper products, also plans to create 144 full-time jobs in the county. Its new 100,000-square-foot facility will produce lids, paper straws, cutlery, and to-go containers.
“I want to thank the leaders at Matrix Pack North America for this commitment to the commonwealth and the Boone County community,” Beshear said in a release. “Kentucky’s sustainability effort continues to grow, and it is great to see Matrix Pack North America be a part of that momentum.”
Construction is expected to begin in October of this year and be completed by June 2024. The facility will be located in unincorporated Boone County.
“Our family and business have been an integral part of the Boone County community for over 60 years. We are excited about the opportunity to bring this growth to Boone County,” said Matrix Pack North America President Stuart Seltman. “Further, we are so grateful and appreciative of the support we have received from Boone County, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and all of the elected officials, including those working behind the scenes, to bring this to fruition.”
