Polytech America LLC announced plans to open a new production site in Canton, bringing 30 jobs and a $15 million investment to Northeast Ohio. This leading film metal lamination company serves the food and beverage industry with eco-friendly technology for both protective and decorative uses in the production of food cans, beverage, aerosol cans and more.

“We are excited to set up a new operating site in Stark County. This location provides very good access to our customers and our company. We are looking forward to establishing solid relationships with local and state business supporting the team for the long term.” said Naomi Yabuta, CEO of Polytech America.
An economic development team including Stark Economic Development Board, Perry Township Government, JobsOhio and Team NEO have been working with Polytech America to support the company’s expansion into its new location.
