AUBURN — Currier Plastics, Inc. will use a $100,000 state grant to fund lean manufacturing training as it adds to its headquarters.
The New York State Department of Labor awarded the grant under its Existing Employee Training program. Currier Plastics will use the funding to train about 80 employees to standardize processes, improve product quality, and reduce waste.
“We are expanding our current footprint to accommodate a growth in our core business of custom design, injection-mold, and blow-mold packaging,” Currier Plastics Human Resources Manager Diane Pisciotti said in a news release. “We felt that the additional workload would require that we train more in Lean Manufacturing techniques to ensure our success moving forward.”
Currier Plastics started work in November on a $21 million, 55,000-square-foot expansion that will bring its headquarters at 101 Columbus St. in Auburn to 120,000 square feet. The company plans to retain about 100 employees and add 50 new jobs in the next five years as a result of the project.
