Marion, Ohio — A new Nachurs Alpine Solutions facility in St. Gabriel, La., was reported to have come up late last year. The renovated 174,500-square-foot manufacturing facility will produce the company’s liquid fertilizer products and distribute them to agricultural customers in the South and globally (GM Nov. 12, 2012, p. 1). Nachurs purchased the 69-acre parcel on the Mississippi River and invested some $13.9 million to renovate existing structures. Ciba-Geigy developed the location in 1970 as an herbicide production facility. Louisiana Economic Development (LED) estimates the project will create 16 new direct jobs with an average salary of more than $45,700 plus benefits, as well as an additional 44 indirect jobs. Nachurs has five other manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Canada, along with 30 product depots for customer convenience.
