A 90,000-square-foot expansion at 3M's Valley, Nebraska facility will increase the plant's manufacturing capacity and create 40 new jobs.

3M Company will invest $67 million to build a 90,000-square-foot expansion at its manufacturing facility in Valley, Nebraska. The investment will include new production lines, equipment and a warehouse.

“We’re proud of the role we play in Nebraska’s success and pleased that we could work with state officials to make this expansion happen.”

The expansion project will create about 40 new jobs and help 3M more quickly meet customer demand for its personal safety products. Specifically, it will create additional manufacturing capacity for 3M’s reusable respirators and PELTOR™ hearing protection products.

“3M has been a part of Valley and the greater Omaha business community for 45 years,” said Matt Huset, plant director at 3M’s Valley facility. “We’re proud of the role we play in Nebraska’s success and pleased that we could work with state officials to make this expansion happen.”
