ZURICH: Gwinnett County is gaining another international manufacturing business, this time a Swiss company’s first plant outside of Switzerland.
Gezolan makes granules used in synthetic flooring, running tracks and playground surfaces. It is opening a new 60,000-square-foot facility at 4345 Hamilton Mill Road in Buford.
Gezolan officials joined officials from Partnership Gwinnett to announce the opening. The $12 million facility houses Gezolan’s U.S. manufacturing plant and operations.
“Our decision to expand in Gwinnett was fueled by our need to meet the current growth rate of the company and U.S. market, as well as the 15-year experience of one of our sister companies in Gwinnett,” Gezolan CEO said in a statement.
“Their experience paired with the access to strong communication infrastructure and logistic resources, as well as human talent, made the decision process much easier.”
The Buford manufacturing facility will be Gezolan’s only manufacturing plant outside of its international headquarters in Switzerland, according to Partnership Gwinnett.
The plan is to launch new products out of the new facility and increase the company’s U.S. staff by the end of the year.
