Alcoa Closure Systems Expands in Gregg County
Published Apr 25, 2008
When Alcoa Closure Systems International opted to consolidate its southern operations, Kilgore was the big winner. The manufacturer of plastic closures for consumer foods and beverages shuttered its Shreveport, La., facility and relocated those operations to Gregg County.
Alcoa completed an $8 million expansion at its Kilgore location in September 2006. The project added a second facility that hooks up to the original 88,000-square-foot building. It also added close to 70 jobs to the local economy.
The company’s southern operations produced approximately 2.5 billion closures in 2006, serving such well-known brands as Nestle, Kraft and Folgers, among others.
