Drylock Technologies to Create 113 Jobs, Invest $26.9 million in Reidsville
Drylock Technologies, a leading manufacturer of hygiene products, will invest more than $26.9 million to establish its first U.S. baby care production facility and create 113 new jobs in Rockingham County.
Based in Belgium, Drylock Technologies has produced private label absorbent baby, feminine, and adult care hygiene products for more than a decade with nine plants and 3,750 employees globally. The family-owned company develops innovative hygiene products with a focus on sustainability from operating on renewable energy to making the first compostable diaper in the world. The new facility will move U.S. baby care production from Europe to a state-of-the-art 450,000 sq ft manufacturing operation.
Salaries will vary by position with an average annual wage of $46,040, which exceeds the Rockingham County average of $43,892. These new jobs could potentially create an annual payroll impact of more than $5.2 million for the region.
