Andy Beshear announced that Union Coating & Chemical Industries will establish its first operation in the United States with a new facility in Barren County, investing nearly $12 million and creating 60 Kentucky jobs.

"Our talented workforce, incentive programs, unique location and speed-to-market resources are helping make the commonwealth an attractive destination for companies looking to locate or expand. I am excited to welcome Union Coating & Chemical Industries to their New Kentucky Home and look forward to the company's success in Barren County." The investment will help establish the company's presence in the United States and include the acquisition of land, construction of a manufacturing facility, installation of advanced powder production equipment and establishment of research and development laboratories. The new plant will focus initially on powder coating compounds, with strategic plans to expand into additional product lines as market demand grows.
