North Carolina - Here comes Israel !
An Israeli textile company has decided to invest $17 million in building a new manufacturing facility in Oxford, North Carolina that will create up to 100 jobs there at above-average salaries.
In just about any Johnson & Johnson-made diaper, wet wipe or feminine hygiene product you'll find elements of Shalag's Israeli-made nonwoven textiles, Ilan Pickman is the manager of the company headquartered at Kibbutz Shamir, in Israel's Upper Galilee region.
The new manufacturing facilities, to be located in Granville County, will be operated as an American entity called Shalag US and the company hopes the move will help to extend its nonwoven textiles business into the North American market. Shalag already has extensive contracts and business dealings with companies such as Kimberly and Clarke and Nicepak in Europe, Pickman relates.
"Our product is in competition all over the world, even in China," says Pickman. "Based in North Carolina, I think [our clients] will receive much better service and the commercial prices will be competitive. This will be the first line, and we will be sending Israelis to educate and transfer the knowledge."
