Gruppo Fanti Chooses Right to Work West Virginia for First US Facility
Gruppo Fanti is a company that has its headquarters in Bologna, Italy. They recently announced that they plan to soon invest $30 million to open their first US location. As a result of wanting a location that will bring them the most benefits, Gruppo Fanti has chosen Weirton, West Virginia for their new facility. With this, they also plan to create 40 new jobs, all of which will be full-time positions. So this will be a great economic opportunity for the people of Brooke County.
From Area Development Magazine:
“Fanti USA will be the largest expansion in the history of the Fanti Group. […] In West Virginia, we found the right place to expand. We studied the market, the supply chain, and the potential locations intensively. We traveled extensively before the COVID limitations and met a lot of people across the United States.
“Here in West Virginia we plan to initially create 20 jobs and to grow to 40-50 jobs after 3-4 years. One of the main reasons we have chosen West Virginia is because of the great support from the Governor’s Office and the West Virginia Development Office. Their great assistance to develop our project made our decision easy.”
