Nice-Pak, a leading global producer of wet wipes, is setting up a new facility in Mooresville to house manufacturing and a distribution centre at a single location. The 1.2 million-square-foot facility involves a $165 million investment. It will create 150 additional jobs in Morgan County by 2024, and employ up to 800 employees when fully operational.

"Our new investment in Mooresville is an important milestone in our mission of helping the world stay healthy and well," said Robert Julius, chairman and CEO of Nice-Pak. " We could not think of a better partner than the Mooresville community in our ongoing efforts to meet the increasing demand for wipes -- essential products in helping to protect against COVID-19."

"Nice-Pak manufactures products that are critical in our fight against COVID-19, and we couldn't be happier to support their Indiana expansion," said governor Eric J Holcomb. “The company's commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility is admirable, and we're grateful they have chosen to grow their Mooresville campus and create 150 new career opportunities for Hoosiers."

The new complex will be located at the intersection of Merriman Road and Bethel Road, five miles from Nice-Pak's existing 147,000-square-foot facility. The current facility will remain open and part of Nice-Pak's overall manufacturing footprint. Construction of the new location is slated to begin in March 2021, with a target occupation date in May 2022.

"Nice-Pak has been a terrific Mooresville business partner for over 45 years," said Shane Williams, president of the Mooresville Town Council. "The economic impact of their new investment will be significant, and we are thrilled that the company has chosen to expand in our community."

The state-of-the-art facility will remain zero landfill as part of Nice-Pak's "war on waste" that includes more efficient energy and water use, and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Designed by ARCO Design/Build in Indianapolis, the facility will boast a sustainability profile with plans for natural and LED lighting, low-flow water fixtures, eco-friendly landscaping, high-efficiency HVAC systems, low VOC paints and floor coverings, and a white roof to reject heat gain. The building is planned to be constructed from local concrete and regionally-sourced, heavily-recycled content steel. The current Nice-Pak facility boasts world-class safety performance that underscores Nice-Pak's commitment to health and wellbeing at their production facilities.

Nice-Pak recently received EPA approval for claims that its disinfectant wipes demonstrate efficacy against the virus that causes COVID-19.
