Reliance Packaging to Expand in Moore County; Invest $7.4 Million and Create 32 Jobs
Reliance Packaging, LLC, a manufacturer of printed plastic packaging, will add 32 new jobs in Moore County. The company will invest more than $7.4 million to expand its operations and increase its capacity in the Town of Aberdeen. Operating in Aberdeen since 2014, Reliance Packaging extrudes plastic resin into printed heavy duty plastic bags and film for the lawn and garden market as well as many other outdoor applications. A Joint Venture with Sigma Plastic Group, Reliance extrudes, prints, and converts, along with developing brands and graphic designs for high-quality products to hold mulch, soil and decorative lawn rock that are sold throughout various outlets, including Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart, across the United States. This expansion includes building improvements and two additional multi-layer film extruders for the 180,000 sq ft manufacturing facility.
“We are excited about the opportunity to expand our manufacturing facility here in Aberdeen and create jobs in Moore County, said Satish Sharma, President & COO of Reliance Packaging. “The new investment will enable the use of Post Consumer Recycle as a major effort to support sustainability within our industry. Reliance Packaging already reprocesses between 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of waste plastic every day and the installation of this new technology and automation will facilitate higher quality products with an eco-friendly solution.”
New positions, including extruder operators, material handlers, and quality control technicians, will have varying salaries, but altogether the average annual wage is $53,000. The Moore County average is $51,824. These new jobs could potentially create an annual payroll impact of more than $1.6 million.
