ISA Corp. To Manufacture Latex Gloves In Geneva County
In a multimillion-dollar project, Oregon-based ISA Corp. will open a production facility in Geneva County, AL. The nitrile and latex glove manufacturer will create 80 jobs over two years at the rural Alabama location. The new venture, dubbed ISA Alabama Corp., will be located in a 45,000-square-foot speculative building in the Geneva County Industrial Park in Hartford. The company expects to be in operation in the third quarter of 2023.
The project was made possible through the support of many organizations at the state and regional levels, as well as assistance from utilities, according to ISA Alabama Corp. President John Feusner. Organizations involved include Alabama Department of Commerce, AIDT, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Wiregrass Economic Development Corp. and the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce/Grow Dothan. Local government entities, including the cities of Hartford, Dothan and Enterprise, were also involved.
“These organizations worked hard as a team, and we are very pleased to be growing our business in ‘Sweet Home Alabama,’” Feusner commented.
“The Geneva County Commission has worked very hard to put the economic pieces together by establishing the Geneva County Industrial Park and then adding the new 45,000-square-foot speculative building so that we could position our area for opportunities,” said Geneva County Commission Chairman Toby Seay.
The spec building resulted from a partnership with PowerSouth and the Wiregrass Electric Cooperative, according to Seay.
