Today, Gov. Andy Beshear congratulated Cinis Fertilizer, a Sweden-based producer of green fertilizer, on plans to locate a new $109.2 million production plant in Christian County, a project that will create 65 new full-time jobs.   “Kentucky has worked hard to ensure that we see investment and job creation in every corner of the state, and Hopkinsville has continually been a hub for both,” said Gov. Beshear. “This investment from Cinis Fertilizer builds on the economic growth Christian County has seen in recent years, and I’m excited to see this company thrive in its New Kentucky Home.”   The company will construct a new facility at 200 Recharge Blvd. in Hopkinsville, with construction beginning mid-2025. The operation will recycle waste salt from battery production at the nearby Ascend Elements facility to produce low-carbon fertilizer. New jobs created at the facility will include, among others, process operators, warehouse personnel, process engineers and general administration.   “We are very excited to be taking a first step outside the Nordics and continuing our expansion by establishing our next production facility in Hopkinsville,” said Cinis Fertilizer founder and CEO Jakob Liedberg. “We will recycle waste streams from Ascend Elements to produce an environmentally friendly mineral fertilizer, enabling a more sustainable agriculture. We are grateful for the warm welcome we have received in Kentucky and look forward to becoming part of the community and contributing to the future of Hopkinsville.”   For the full release including local leader comments, visit https://lnkd.in/g4G_e8Kv. #comegrowwithus #thinkkentucky #fortcampbell #lesstaxingmorerelaxing #CinisFertilizer Cinis Fertilizer Sharon Butts Taylor Hayes Tony Prim

The South Western Kentucky region continues to experience record manufacturing growth thanks to our incredible regional workforce, speed to market development sites, and strong community support. Another critical factor to our region's success is access to all modes of transportation saving companies money in shipping costs. 1. Interstate- easy access to I-24, I-69, and I-169. 2. Rail- service with CSX mainline and RJ Corman short line. 3. Air- regional commuter/private airports and less than an hour to Nashville International Airport... 4. Barge- quick, congestion free access to the Eddyville Riverport. Today, we visited Eddyville Riverport & Industrial Development Authority, Inc. and had a tour led by Amanda Davenport. It was an eye-opening experience. Our 3-county region is fortunate to have easy and affordable access to the Eddyville Riverport as it's within 45 minutes from our main manufacturing and agriculture areas providing affordable shipping options to critically important businesses and industries.
