SHERRILL, N.Y. — Dutchland Plastics plans to move its upstate New York plant from Sherrill to a bigger space in the village of Canastota in Madison County.
The company, headquartered in Oostburg, Wisconsin, will move its upstate New York site to a 50,000-square-foot facility in Canastota, the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a news release issued Monday.
The expansion will facilitate the creation of at least 42 new full-time jobs over the next two years in addition to the 23 positions that will be retained. The state expects construction on the new facility to finish by the end of 2019.
In order to encourage Dutchland Plastics to expand in Central New York, Empire State Development (ESD) has offered up to $475,000 in performance-based tax credits through its Excelsior Jobs program, which are tied to job-creation commitments, Cuomo’s office said.
Additionally, ESD has reallocated a nearly $1.7 million Restore NY grant to the Village of Canastota that will assist with construction of the new facility.
The company will invest $2.6 million for capital equipment and to customize the new facility, which will sit along the Erie Canal, Cuomo’s office said.
Dutchland is the third largest contract rotational molder in the U.S., Cuomo’s office said. It described the firm as “country’s leading contract plastics rotomolded product manufacturer.”
“We are very excited about this expansion,” Randy Herman, CEO of Dutchland Plastics, said in Cuomo’s release. “This is a tremendous opportunity and I want to thank Gov. Cuomo, Madison County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Kipp Hicks, and especially Canastota Mayor Carla DeShaw, who will be assigning resources to help the company recruit and train requisite new hires from the local community.”
As a custom plastics-products manufacturer, Dutchland Plastics services recreational, commercial, outdoor, food and beverage, furniture, and marine industries. The company manufactures products like Yeti coolers and NuCanoe boats, according to Cuomo’s office.
