Tel Aviv, Israel - A Spalding County eco-friendly park is fast becoming a favorite of Japanese companies.
Gov. Nathan Deal said Wednesday that Toppan Printing Co. will create 80 jobs and invest $100 million in a plant at The Lakes at Green Valley in Griffin. The packing firm is the second Japanese company to move to the area.
The 127,000-square-foot facility will bolster Toppan’s capacity to supply transparent barrier films to packaging manufacturers in North America and Europe. The manufacturing facility will produce unique packaging for food, medical and electronic applications. The facility will be the company’s first transparent barrier film manufacturing site outside of Japan.
The announcement came as Deal was wrapping up a trade mission to Israel, though it was not connected to the trip.
Otsuka Chemical in May also announced it would create 32 jobs at the site, which is a collaboration between the county and Georgia Tech.
