斯科特州长说:“我很自豪地宣布,费尔南迪纳海滩已被选为新利诺泰克设施的最佳地点,这将为拿骚县的家庭创造50个新的就业机会。Borregaard ASA和Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc.是本可以选择任何其他州进行投资的全球性公司,但他们最终选择了佛罗里达州,这要归功于我们在减税和建立友好商业环境方面的辛勤努力。”
这项新的行动将为建筑、农业和其他工业应用中使用的油基产品提供环境友好的替代品。该项目预计将于开工后18个月左右开始施工。
Paul Boynton, the Chairman, President and CEO of Rayonier Advanced Materials, said, “We’re excited to move forward with this new business to produce environmentally friendly alternatives to many fossil-fuel based products. Our partnership with Borregaard will create over 50 high-paying jobs and contribute more than $28 million annually to Northeast Florida’s economy. LignoTech Florida creates value for the stockholders of Borregaard and Rayonier Advanced Materials and is great for our community and Fernandina plant.”
Borregaard总裁兼首席执行官Per A.Sørlie说:“这个项目为我们的木质素业务创造了重大的新增长机会。我们的合作伙伴关系将Borregaard在木质素产品的制造、营销和产品开发方面的专业知识与RYAM的副产品开发和极具竞争力的场地位置结合起来。我们感谢当地对该项目的大力支持。市、县和州三级官员都是很好的合作伙伴。我们期待着今后与他们合作。”
Partners in the expansion include Enterprise Florida, Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, and Nassau County Economic Development Board.
Mike Grissom, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Florida, Inc., said, “We’re excited to announce this expansion by Rayonier Advanced Materials. This new partnership between Rayonier Advanced Materials and Borregaard ASA made this a highly competitive project. These are two global industry leaders that could have chosen any location worldwide. Because of the teamwork between our state and local partners, today we’re thanking these great companies for choosing Nassau County and Florida.”
佛罗里达州经济机会部执行主任西西普罗克托(cissyproctor)表示,“另一家国际公司已经认识到在佛罗里达州发展业务的巨大机遇,这对佛罗里达家庭来说是个好消息。佛罗里达州强劲的制造业在就业增长方面领先全国,LignoTech将为拿骚县带来50个新的高技能、高薪工作岗位,这将帮助我们继续为制造业增长树立标杆。”
Laura DiBella, Executive Director of the Nassau County Economic Development Board, said, “I cannot express enough how incredible this expansion is to the City of Fernandina Beach, Nassau County and the Northeast Florida region as a whole. It is such a uniquely positive project where its implementation will not only enhance operations at the current Rayonier Advanced Materials facility, it will also reduce the carbon footprint in numerous applications by replacing petroleum based products. All this while creating high wage manufacturing jobs with a tremendous economic impact in what is currently a designated rural county in Florida. This is economic development at its finest and I am so thrilled and proud to welcome LignoTech Florida to Nassau County!”
