Last November, Bologna-based Gruppo Fanti announced the opening of its first U.S.-based plant in Weirton, West Virginia. The new plant will initially create 40 new full-time jobs and Gruppo Fanti plans to invest nearly $30 million in the Brooke County operation.
“Fanti USA will be the largest expansion in the history of the Fanti Group.”
said Nicola De Santis – CFO, M&A, Business Development, Board Member of Fanti Group. “In West Virginia, we found the right place to expand. We intensively studied the market, the supply chain and potential locations. We traveled extensively before COVID limitations and met many people throughout the United States. One of the main reasons we chose West Virginia is because of the great support from Governor Jim Justice, his Governor’s Office and the West Virginia Department of Economic Development. Their great help in developing our project made our decision easier.”
