Copper State Rubber, the manufacturer of industrial, oilfield and mine hoses, broke ground on a 150,000-square-foot corporate facility on Monday.
The forthcoming facility will accommodate the increasing amount of manufacturing businesses coming to the West Valley– a positive sign of continued business opportunities and job growth, Avondale city officials said.
Construction on the $25-30 million project that is slated to be completed in March 2017, includes significant land for future expansion to accommodate increases in production and product diversity. Copper State Rubber will be bringing 50 existing employees to Avondale with expansion plans that includes future employment needs of over 100.
