Gov. Brian Kemp announced Wednesday that Purple will expand in McDonough, more than doubling its workforce.

ATLANTA — Gov. Brian P. Kemp announced on June 30 that Pregis, a leading manufacturer of protective packaging, will expand its presence in Georgia and plans to invest more than $14 million to open an advanced manufacturing facility in Henry County. This will immediately create 80 additional jobs in the region and ramp up to 150 opportunities as the operation scales over the next few years.

“I want to thank Pregis for their commitment to creating advanced manufacturing and distribution jobs for hardworking Georgians,” said Kemp. “The company’s continued investment in the Peach State is a testament to our top-notch workforce training programs that prioritize manufacturing and to Georgia’s welcoming, pro-business environment.”
