Plastics company to create 150 jobs with help from grant
GREENSBORO — Carolina Precision Plastics will expand its North Carolina operations, creating 150 jobs in Greensboro and investing $4.5 million during the next three years, Gov. Mike Easley announced today.
The announcement was made possible in part by a $150,000 One North Carolina Fund grant, Easley said in a press release.
Carolina Precision Plastics specializes in injection molded plastics for the cosmetics, health and pharmaceutical industries. It's headquartered in Randolph County.
Sixty-five of the new hires will likely be laid-off Core Systems workers, Easley said.
Carolina Precision Plastics will operate from the former Core Systems building in Greensboro.
The average weekly wage of the new jobs will be $736 plus benefits, which is more than the Guilford County average weekly wage of $659 not including benefits, Easley said.
The One North Carolina Fund helps the state recruit businesses by providing financial assistance through local governments.
