MUNCIE, Ind. — An intercontinental beverage can and food packaging company is set to build a new facility in Delaware County, investing $380 million and bringing more than 340 work.
CANPACK Group, a subsidiary of Giorgi International Holding Inc., will build a condition-of-the-art aluminum beverage can production facility at the corner of Fuson and Cowan streets, officers declared Tuesday morning.
The new 862,000-square-foot facility will be 1 of the largest manufacturing buildings within the county when it is completed, building up to 345 new work opportunities by the stop of 2023.
The 130-acre area the plant will be designed on was rezoned by the commissioners in April for mild industrial use.

Building of the facility is envisioned to start in mid-2021. Plant operation is slated to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Tom Johnson, regional supervisor for CANPACK, claimed all through Tuesday’s announcement that the company currently operates 27 facilities all over the environment, using nearly 8,000 people today globally.
The Delaware County facility will be their 2nd venture in the U.S. The enterprise broke ground on its 1st U.S. plant in Pennsylvania over a year back.

A 2nd phase for the Muncie plant would develop the facility to far more than a million square feet, approaching the size of the former BorgWarner plant alongside Kilgore Avenue.
The challenge is in cooperation with the Indiana Financial Development Company, Muncie-Delaware County Financial Improvement Alliance and as the point out of Indiana.
The state has available CANPACK up to $4.7 million in conditional tax credits and up to $300,000 in conditional training grants. The Indiana Economic Growth Corporation offered up to $1 million from the Hoosier Small business Financial commitment (HBI) tax credit history system based on the company’s prepared money financial investment in Indiana.
The tax credits are effectiveness-dependent, which implies the firm is suitable to claim incentives once employees are hired and investments are manufactured.
Delaware County approved added incentives.
This report will be current.
