MVR, a manufacturer of high performance sustainable plastic resins, today announced the ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony of the company’s new 90 million pound per year recycled plastic resin manufacturing facility in Frankfort, KY.
In a ceremony to be held today, Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky Steve L. Beshear and Mayor of the City of Frankfort Gippy Graham will meet with MVR executives to dedicate the new facility.
“We are pleased to call The Commonwealth of Kentucky and the City of Frankfort the newest home to our world-class manufacturing operations,” said Ronald Whaley, president and CEO of MVR. “We have been blown away by the outpouring of support we’ve received on all levels, from economic funding to the community’s response to our employment opportunities, and we look forward to growing each one of those relationships in the many years to come.”
“Kentucky is proud to welcome MVR, an environmentally friendly company, to its capital city,” said Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. “The creation of 360 new jobs and a more than $9.2 million investment will provide a significant boost to the economy, opening up hundreds of employment opportunities for the community. We look forward to a continued partnership with MVR as they establish and grow their new facility in the Commonwealth.”
“MVR has already begun its contribution to the Frankfort community in bringing hundreds of green jobs and we all look forward to seeing the trucks lined up to take sustainable resins made in our city to product manufacturers around the nation,” City of Frankfort Mayor Gippy Graham added.
