Plastek Industries Bringing 250 Jobs to Richmond County

Plastek Industries, which produces plastic packaging for the consumer, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors, is bringing 250 jobs to Richmond County in North Carolina, according to local reports.

Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office issued a statement that Plastek Industries was awarded $2 million in state incentives for the jobs plan. The company will invest $19 million in a new facility in Richmond County, which would be Plastek’s first in the state.

According to the Raleigh/Durham Business Journal, the average salary for the new jobs would be $32,800, which the report notes is well above the county average of $26,600.

The governor’s statement said Plastik Industries has more than 2,000 workers in the U.S. and internationally. The company is described as a family-run business founded in 1956 in Erie, Pa.
