A Swedish-based packaging and logistics company is moving its southeast hub from Norcross to Braselton.
Nefab announced on Thursday that it has opened a $9.5-million, 150,000-square-foot facility.
The new facility triples the capacity of its previous site according to the company and will add 30 manufacturing jobs to its existing workforce in the area.
“This investment reflects both our confidence in the Southeast market and our commitment to building local capacity,” Executive Vice President of the Americas Patric Vestlund said. “We designed this facility to combine global best practices with the speed and flexibility our customers need here in the U.S.”
The new facility grew the workforce from 60 to 90 and will serve customers in the cloud, automotive, and healthcare industries. Their operations include the production of wood and plywood crates and packaging and foam cushioning.
“This site brings together our people, production, and technology in a way that helps us work more efficiently to support customer demand,” Managing Director - Southeast Robert Skinner said. “Braselton’s strong logistics network and thriving business community make it an ideal base for our continued growth.”
The facility will be on the Jackson County side of Braselton at 11084 Lewis Braselton Boulevard. It will join existing Georgia operations in Fairburn.
The company claims they have a combined 75 years of experience and over 5,000 employees across 38 countries. They also generate roughly $1-billion annually. They are owned by the Swedish-based Nordgren/Pihl family and FAM AB, a privately-owned company within the Swedish Wallenberg family.
