Sandston, Virginia based Dominion Packaging has invested $25 million to expand its footprint in eastern Henrico County, with plans to create more than 100 jobs, it announced last week.
The expansion includes a new 188,000-square-foot industrial facility at 2724 Seven Hills Blvd., marking Dominion Packaging’s second location within the Airport Logistics Center.
According to the company and the Henrico County Economic Development Authority, the new facility will serve as a hub for finished goods and distribution, with those operations relocating from Dominion’s neighboring 241,000-square-foot facility at 2708 Seven Hills Boulevard.
The company, which produces folding cartons and consumer packaging, also operates a 342,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 5700 Audubon Drive in Sandston, where it is headquartered.
“Dominion Packaging has called Henrico home for more than twenty years, and this expansion is a direct result of the trust our customers place in our team,” Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President Tommy Piper said in a statement. “Moving finished goods and distribution into our new Seven Hills facility gives us the room to grow manufacturing right next door, add well-paying jobs and keep delivering the quality and service that globally recognized brands expect from us. We’re grateful to Henrico County and the EDA for being such strong partners in our growth.”
According to Piper, the new building completed construction in June. In an email, he said the new positions created through the expansion will consist of operators, supervisors, material handlers, general labor and maintenance support.
