WESTFIELD, Mass., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- James Hardie Building Products Inc. (James Hardie), together with local elected officials, today celebrated the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the James Hardie Westfield manufacturing plant.
馬薩諸塞州韋斯特菲爾德，2024年5月8日 /PRNewswire/ — 詹姆斯·哈迪建築產品公司（詹姆斯·哈迪）今天與當地民選官員一起慶祝了詹姆斯·哈迪·韋斯特菲爾德製造工廠的剪綵和盛大開業。
The 200,000 square foot site, formerly owned and operated by National Envelope Company, commenced operations in January 2024. The $50M investment in the world-class facility will employ up to 65 full-time employees and be utilized by James Hardie to apply its ColorPlus Technology proprietary pre-finish coatings to Hardie fiber cement siding products.
這座佔地20萬平方英尺的場地以前由國家信封公司擁有和運營，於2024年1月開始運營。對這座世界一流設施的5000萬美元投資將僱用多達65名全職員工，詹姆斯·哈迪利用該投資將其ColorPlus Technology專有的預處理塗料應用於哈迪纖維水泥壁板產品。
"We are incredibly excited to solidify our presence in the Northeast with our new Westfield facility," James Hardie North America President Sean Gadd said. "James Hardie siding is engineered specifically to withstand the severe Northeast weather, so having a site in the region will be extremely impactful for us while furthering the economic development of the Hampden County community. We are grateful to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Westfield for their support and partnership in seeing this important project come to fruition."
詹姆斯·哈迪北美總裁肖恩·加德說：“能夠通過新的韋斯特菲爾德工廠鞏固我們在東北部的影響力，我們感到非常興奮。”“詹姆斯·哈迪側板是專門爲抵禦惡劣的東北天氣而設計的，因此在該地區設立場地將對我們產生極大的影響，同時促進漢普登縣社區的經濟發展。我們感謝馬薩諸塞州聯邦和韋斯特菲爾德市的支持和合作，使這一重要項目取得成果。”
The James Hardie Westfield plant, located on Turnpike Industrial Road, will operate a world-class coating line for James Hardie's premium siding products, manufactured and shipped via rail from sites across its North American network. Once finished at Westfield, the products will be shipped directly to customers throughout the Northeast.
位於收費公路工業路的詹姆斯·哈迪·韋斯特菲爾德工廠將運營一條世界一流的塗裝生產線，用於生產詹姆斯·哈迪的優質壁板產品，這些產品通過鐵路從其北美網絡的各個站點發貨。在韋斯特菲爾德完成後，產品將直接運送給整個東北地區的客戶。
"The City of Westfield is pleased that James Hardie chose the city as its new location for its siding and finished products line using a formerly vacant facility," said Westfield Mayor Mike McCabe. "It is the essence of what redevelopment is about. We look forward to James Hardie's use of rail transportation and the creation of jobs for our community and wish James Hardie nothing but success in its new home."
韋斯特菲爾德市長邁克·麥凱布說：“韋斯特菲爾德市很高興詹姆斯·哈迪使用以前空置的設施選擇這座城市作爲其壁板和成品生產線的新地點。”“這是重建的本質。我們期待詹姆斯·哈迪使用軌道交通，爲我們的社區創造就業機會，並祝願詹姆斯·哈迪在新家中取得成功。”
"After years of work it is my pleasure to join our community today to celebrate the opening of James Hardie's new factory here in the City of Westfield. The renovation and reutilization of the old National Envelope Company manufacturing site is a testament to the partnership that has been forged between the City of Westfield, the Commonwealth and James Hardie," shared State Senator John Velis (D-Westfield). "It is exactly these types of projects that we want to continue to encourage and foster in the Pioneer Valley to create good paying jobs and economic opportunity for residents across the region."
“經過多年的工作，我很高興今天加入我們的社區，慶祝詹姆斯·哈迪在韋斯特菲爾德市的新工廠開業。州參議員約翰·維利斯（D-Westfield）分享道，對National Envelope Company舊制造基地的翻新和再利用證明了聯邦韋斯特菲爾德市與詹姆斯·哈迪之間建立的合作伙伴關係。“我們希望在先鋒谷繼續鼓勵和培育這些類型的項目，爲該地區的居民創造高薪工作和經濟機會。”
"It is an exciting time for James Hardie and the local community of Westfield," said Heidi Turner, Plant Manager at James Hardie Westfield. "We strive to be the best community partner possible in the locations where we operate, which enables us to fulfill our purpose of Building a Better Future for All. To that end, we look forward to creating employment opportunities, partnering with neighborhood businesses and contributing to local philanthropic organizations."
詹姆斯·哈迪·韋斯特菲爾德工廠經理海蒂·特納說：“對於詹姆斯·哈迪和韋斯特菲爾德當地社區來說，這是一個激動人心的時刻。”“我們努力成爲我們運營所在地儘可能最好的社區合作伙伴，這使我們能夠實現爲所有人建設更美好未來的目標。爲此，我們期待創造就業機會，與鄰里企業合作，爲當地慈善組織捐款。”
