Packaging materials and industrial laminates manufacturer LLFlex is investing $7.6m in a new facility in High Point, North Carolina. The investment will create new jobs at the site as the company increases its commitment to customer service, production excellence and market share growth. The company is being helped by a $90,000 grant to support the new development.
