A new manufacturing facility in Gadsden is expected to bring 40 jobs to the area as Pencco, Inc. expands its operations in Alabama.
Pencco, a U.S. manufacturer of water, wastewater and odor and corrosion control treatment solutions, celebrated the opening of its new Alabama manufacturing facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier today. The facility is located in Gadsden.
City officials said the project represents a $20 million capital investment and includes 40 new jobs, along with an expansion of Pencco’s manufacturing capabilities.
“Every job that comes to the city of Gadsden is important,” Gadsden Mayor Craig Ford said. “This is a corporate partner working to hire local contractors to get ready for this grand opening and then hiring local workers. I want to thank Pencco and all their partners for the positive impact this will have on Gadsden and the local community.”
The Gadsden facility will manufacture specialty materials used by municipal and industrial customers to treat water and wastewater.
