Green tech firm eyes Brockton for new factory
BROCKTON — The city is close to a big economic win. An innovative but well-established green tech company plans to open a factory that would bring Brockton 100 jobs. Durra Panel USA LLC uses the leftovers from wheat and rice production to make construction panels. The company touts them as a durable, eco-friendly choice that can save builders up to 32% off materials and labor costs. "It essentially replaces drywall," said Maria Giatrelis, chief revenue officer for Durra Panel USA. She and other executives from the company visited their potential Brockton home, 132 Campanelli Industrial Drive , on Monday, Oct. 26. They'd be an anchor tenant at the 300,000+ square-foot warehouse. Durra Panel would hire about 100 people Derek Layfield , founder of the Australian company that originally made Durra Panel and an advisor to the U.S. operation, said the factory would employ about 100 people when it opens. He said another 1,000 jobs might be created as support companies sprout nearby. One example: powder-coating for steel components. Brockton's labor force was a draw. "People in Brockton know how to do this," Layfield said of the various manufacturing jobs they'll need to fill. The city's location right off Route 24
