GOJO, inventors of PURELL® Advanced Hand Sanitizer, announces that it has agreed to lease 1.3 million square feet of space in Wooster, Ohio, which will be used to expand manufacturing and distribution operations. The GOJO Wooster Campus is in addition to the GOJO headquarters in Akron, Ohio, manufacturing and distribution in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and operations worldwide including those in the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico and France.
With the addition of the GOJO Wooster Campus, GOJO anticipates increasing its workforce over the next several years. The company expects to add 30 to 50 new jobs at the GOJO Wooster Campus within the next year and more than a total of 240 jobs as operations expand.
"GOJO expansion has been consistent overtime as our business has grown," says Mark Lerner, GOJO president and chief operating officer. "We are building capacity in Wooster to accommodate anticipated future growth. We look forward to creating new jobs here for Northeast Ohioans and maintaining our commitment to helping this region grow."
The GOJO Wooster Campus is expected to house additional manufacturing capabilities and warehousing. It will take the next six months to a year to update the infrastructure of the facilities and begin operations in Wooster.
