Wet wipes manufacturer Nice-Pak will double manufacturing capacity of disinfectant wipes at its Jonesboro, AR, plant, which will lead to the hiring of an additional 300 people. The expansion will take place in stages beginning in January and finishing in August.

Upgrades will include the extension of existing lines and the addition of a new manufacturing line. The expansion comes amid increase demand for household disinfectants spurred by the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, the plant moved to 24-hour-per-day, seven-days-per week production schedule.

“Our products are essential for consumers to help stay healthy and well amid the Covid-19 pandemic,” says chairman and CEO Robert Julius. “We have been working non-stop to produce more wipes than ever before, and we commend the tremendous performance of our Jonesboro associates, who have been terrific in rising to the challenge.”

Nice-Pak has been making wet wipes in Jonesboro for more than a decade. The company also has manufacturing stes in Orangeburg, NY, and Mooresville, IN, in the U.S. as well as two sites in the U.K. and one in Germany.
