Duro Bag expansion continues throughout the United States and some of it is happening right here in Northern Kentucky. After working with the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority to secure up to $1 million in tax incentives, Duro will invest up to $2.5 million in its operations in Florence, Kentucky. The investment allows Duro to add production capacity. Additionally, Duro, which has over 2,500 employees working at 10 manufacturing facilities across the country, plans to add up to 130 employees to the facility in Florence.
Always seeking to serve its existing customers better and to add new ones, Duro continues to develop new high quality products that meet these goals as well as make the company a market leader in the paper bag industry. In addition, Duro, the largest bag manufacturer in the world, has continually strived to improve its operating efficiencies and maintain its position as the lowest cost producer in the market.
Duro is a full-service bag manufacturer producing grocery bags and sacks, handle and merchandise bags, paper lawn and leaf bags, lunch bags, and other.
Founded in 1953 by Mr. S. David Shor, Duro Bag Manufacturing Company continues to be privately owned and by the Shor family. His son, Charles Shor, has been President and Chief Executive Officer since 1987.
