Why Ohio?
The project allows CNG to continue its growth in Richland County, where it successfully oversees operations in Ontario and Lexington. CNG will construct a 157,000-square-foot expansion on the Lexington campus to accommodate 12 new film packaging lines. Additionally, the company will introduce four new extrusion lines in Ontario to meet growing demand in the consumer goods space.

In addition, Ohio’s role as a leader in advanced manufacturing is more vital than ever as companies embrace new ways of making things with additive manufacturing, automation, advanced materials, and other new technologies.
