"“Our decision to invest in North Carolina was the result of a long and involved process starting with the review of over 100 properties. In the end, Lincoln County was our choice for many reasons including the support of the local and state agencies, the strong local labor force, the value aspects of the community that match Aptar values, and the strength of the local college educational system and its support of business training. As planned, we began shipping products from our Lincolnton facility in early 2012. Our customers have been impressed with the site’s production capabilities and its overall appearance and cleanliness. We are extremely pleased with the efforts made by our employees to create this wonderful state-of-the-art facility.”"
