Texas wood products manufacturer Conner Industries last week announced plans to open another new manufacturing plant next month.
The newly announced facility in Montgomery, Alabama, is scheduled to open November 1 and slated to create more than 100 jobs over the next year. It will be the third new facility added to the company’s operations this year, joining a Clarksville, Tennessee, plant that opened in March and the addition of RoseMill Packaging — and its facility in Lewisburg, Tennessee — in July.
The Montgomery plant will integrate RoseMill’s packaging products, which include combinations of wood, corrugate, plastic, and foam materials.
“Strategic locations, like Montgomery, allow us to remain at the forefront of our industry, and continue to provide the right industrial wood and packaging solutions that our current and prospective partners can truly rely on,” CEO David Dixon said in a statement.
Conner produces lumber, pallets, crates, and other packaging products. The company currently operates 12 facilities in the U.S., including its headquarters in Fort Worth.
The company plans to hold a two-day job fair later this month to help fill the new positions.
