ReAgent Chemical Services, Ltd., a United Kingdom-based chemical manufacturer, has selected a site in Winston-Salem to establish a new facility. The company manufactures laboratory and other specialty chemicals to a wide range of industries. The company will generate 30 new jobs and $4.8 million in capital investment over five years.

“Having identified significant potential for our products and services in the US, we began our search for a new location. North Carolina stood out for a variety of reasons including geographic location, proximity to customers and suppliers, and a good manufacturing labor market. We identified an ideal property enhanced by all of those assets here in Winston-Salem. We are excited to locate here, and eager to grow our US presence in the future. In the long term, we envision our US facility will be larger than our UK base,” says Richard Hudson, CEO of ReAgent Chemical Services.
ReAgent will look to fill up to 30 new jobs in the short-term including management, sales positions, chemical production, warehousing, and quality control. The average annual wage will be just above $59,000.
