On Friday, November 12, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held to celebrate Ecolab’s recent expansion in Henry County. The expansion, which includes a new product support center and distribution facility, will create over 60 new jobs and $16 million investment in Henry County.

“Ecolab’s expansion is another great statement about Henry County’s business climate. It is a strong statement that a Fortune 250 firm that has manufactured their product in our community for many years reinvests in our community. Henry County appreciates their continued investment, and we look forward to many more years of shared growth and prosperity with Ecolab,” stated Henry County Board of Commissioner Chair Carlotta Harrell.

Ecolab established its operations in Henry County in 1988 with a manufacturing facility off of GA Hwy 155 that produces cleaning and hygiene products employing over 100. The expansion includes a new 350K sq. ft. building inside the Southern Gateway at Lambert Farms Park developed by PNK located off GA Hwy 42.

“We at HCDA are excited about this new investment by Ecolab. For many years, Ecolab has manufactured products in Henry County that help keep all of us safe. With the recent events of COVID19 their operations in Henry County are even more critical and we are proud they continue to choose Henry,” said Chairman for the Henry County Development Authority Pierre Clements.
