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.
