Candle company adding Ohio location
March 31, 2011 (Nashua Telegraph) - Alene Candles, the fragrance candle company, is expanding into Ohio. The firm is keeping its Milford plant, Vice President Ted Goldberg said.
According to Columbus Business First, an Ohio business journal, Alene received job tax credits from the state of Ohio worth an estimated $214,000 over seven years, and Alene promised an $8.2 million project expected to create 135 jobs.
Goldberg said Alene has grown significantly over the past several years and needs to expand.
It ships candles all over the country, he said, and the new location in New Albany, Ohio, will make that easier.
Alene Candles, the nation’s leading full-service contract and private-label candle and home fragrance manufacturer, welcomes Martin Avila as Chief Operating Officer. Based in Ohio, Avila will oversee manufacturing operations across Alene’s facilities in Ohio and New Hampshire, leading engineering, supply chain, logistics and sourcing, while driving operational efficiency, cost management and company growth.
Alene Candles , the nation’s leading full-service contract and private-label candle and home fragrance manufacturer, welcomes Casey Meyer as its new senior director of Ohio operations. Meyer will oversee all aspects of production and logistics at Alene’s facilities in New Albany’s Beauty Park.
