REIDSVILLE, N.C. (AP) - An Israeli-based manufacturer of wet wipes and feminine hygiene products plans to bring 300 jobs to Reidsville by 2022.
Albaad Holdings will invest $45 million to produce additional lines of personal care products in Rockingham County.
On Tuesday, Governor Cooper shared the news about the jobs during a press conference.
"Today's announcement is more proof that North Carolina is the place for companies from around the globe to grow and succeed," said Cooper.
The new jobs are an addition to the 225 people already manufacturing wipes and operating a distribution center there. A state Commerce Department document says the new facility would produce pads and panty liners and handle some current distribution duties.
A state committee approved proposed state incentives Tuesday that could reach $3.7 million if Albaad meets job and investment thresholds. Average salaries for the new jobs are around $38,000.
The company also considered expanding in Kentucky and Rhode Island.
