MonoSol, a Kuraray Division, has announced that it will initially invest US$72 million to build a new, 150,000-square-foot water-soluble film manufacturing facility in Lebanon, Indiana. It will have the option to expand the site to over 400,000 square feet in the future. This will be the company’s fourth facility in the United States and sixth overall dedicated to producing water-soluble films. This site is expected to initially create up to 89 new, high-wage jobs when operational in mid-2020.
