The office of Gov Roy Cooper announced this week, that SteriTek, a contract sterilizer, will create 50 new jobs to our west, in Alamance County.
The company will invest just shy of $60 million to build an East Coast sterilization facility in Burlington.
Using electron beam and X-ray systems for sterilization, SteriTek supports the medical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and tissue industries.
The new location in Burlington will increase their capacity to meet the increased demand - with four E-beam machines and one X-ray system in a 125,000 square-foot facility.
The annual payroll impact of the new positions has the potential to create more than $2.6 million for the region.
A performance-based grant of $95,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help fund location to North Carolina.
