Evanesce Packaging Solutions Inc. announced on Wednesday that it plans to open its second US manufacturing facility in North Las Vegas next year.
The company, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, makes sustainable packaging such as food containers and take-away utensils that are certified compostable and plant-based.
The manufacturer plans to employ more than 120 people at its 114,000 square foot facility at 5445 E. North Belt Road and invest $ 30 million in the first three years. The facility is expected to be operational in late spring 2022.
The company’s first facility is in Early Branch, South Carolina.
CEO and founder Douglas Horne said in a new press release that support from the city of North Las Vegas and state officials helped the company secure a location.
“We look forward to serving our growing western customer base and rapidly expanding the production of our American-made, sustainable food packaging solutions,” he said.
North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee said Evanesce’s admission to the city will help diversify southern Nevada’s economy.
“Evanesce is another big win for North Las Vegas, creating a future-oriented company that creates good jobs for our residents and continues to transform and diversify the economy of Southern Nevada,” Lee said in a press release.
