Freezer and cooler door manufacturer DDS Glass Doors LLC is relocating to a larger facility in Elkton, now that the expansion is complete, and it’s expected to create 50 new jobs in the area.
According to a news release, the $1.6 million expansion is complete, and the facility will become fully operational in January. In October, company leaders purchased an existing 96,000-square-foot building on Industrial Drive in Elkton to house the expanded operations, which includes additional equipment, workstations and conveyor lines. The 50 new jobs expected to result from the expansion will comprise mostly production positions, as well as some supervisory roles.
Elkton Mayor Arthur Green says, “The City of Elkton is excited about the expansion of DDS Glass Doors into their new facility on Industrial Drive as great news for the city. DDS Glass Doors has been a great corporate partner, and we are confident that the new Elkton location will greatly expand their influence in our community and support their continued growth as they take advantage of our awesome workforce, highway accessibility and award winning quality of life.”
