Hartmann USA Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Paul Hartmann AG, announced it will expand its facilities in Rock Hill, S.C. The project will include an $18 million dollar investment to support the relocation of its U.S. incontinence management production located in Bloomington, Ind., as well as new machinery and equipment from its European operations. The expansion is expected to be completed in mid 2014 and will modernize and expand capacity to their manufacturing operations in the United States. It is expected to add nearly 75 jobs to the local economy.
“The improvement to product features and design that this expansion will allow is extremely beneficial to the end user,” said Oliver Krause-Huckleberry, Hartmann USA’s marketing director of incontinence management. “While addressing the overall issue of incontinence is important, through absorbency and other functional features, skin complications are extremely common in individuals living with incontinence. We feel it’s important to address these complications through the products we manufacture and market.”
“In addition to improving the design of incontinence management products, this investment will allow us to provide better service to our customers,” John Gilbert, Hartmann USA’s president and CEO, said in prepared remarks. “Our expansion will allow us to house our distribution center, domestic incontinence management production and corporate office functions all under one roof, fostering seamless interaction between functional areas, enhanced customer logistics and increased competitiveness in the markets we serve. We are extremely excited for the opportunities this project provides and sharing the associated benefits with our customers.”
