At least 45 new jobs will be created
RICHMOND, Va. – On Friday, Governor Glenn Youngkin announced that a global manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging will open a 140,000-square-foot industrial facility in Shenandoah County. The project will create at least 45 new jobs.
According to a February 7, 2025 media release, Serioplast, a company headquartered in Italy, will invest $25,725,000 to occupy the new location.
Serioplast provides packaging for companies like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, and more.
“I am thrilled that Serioplast has chosen the Commonwealth of Virginia to build a new industrial facility for their plastic packaging,” said Youngkin.
According to the media statement:
Since its founding in 1974, Serioplast’s packaging has been used by companies in the consumer goods industry, including home care and laundry, food, personal care, and pharma markets.
The company has grown into a global leader in rigid plastic packaging, operating 33 production facilities across 16 countries with a workforce of over 2,000 employees. In recent years, Serioplast has expanded its presence in North America, with a key production site in St. Louis, Missouri. Committed to sustainability, Serioplast integrates recycled materials into its production processes, reinforcing its dedication to the circular economy while driving innovation in packaging solutions.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Shenandoah Valley Partnership and Shenandoah County to secure the project for Virginia. Governor Youngkin approved a $180,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist Shenandoah County with this project.
