Sigvaris, a manufacturer of circular knit graduated compression products has inaugurated its expanded facilities, which includes additional space in its office; production plant and warehouse at its North American headquarters. The 40,000 square foot addition will create more than 70 new jobs over the next 10 years, of which the company has already hired 18.

The expansion also includes a Sigvaris store, which will be opened later this month and allow consumers to purchase graduated compression hosiery and socks directly from the company.

"We are proud to support the local community with both new jobs and products that are made locally and which help promote health and wellness," Scot Dubé, CEO for Sigvaris North America said. (AR)
