By GlobalDataIndiana Governor Eric Holcomb said: “Nice-Pak manufactures products that are critical in our fight against COVID-19, and we couldn’t be happier to support their Indiana expansion.
“The company’s commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility is admirable, and we’re grateful they have chosen to grow their Mooresville campus and create 150 new career opportunities for Hoosiers.”
The company said that the new facility forms part of its efforts to meet the increasing demand for wipes and essential products due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nice-Pak said that the new facility will remain zero landfill as part of its “war on waste” which includes more efficient usage of energy and water as well as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The facility, designed by ARCO Design/Build in Indianapolis, is planned to use natural and LED lighting, low-flow water fixtures, eco-friendly landscaping, HVAC systems, low VOC paints and floor coverings, and a white roof to reject heat gain.
