Nitrile and latex glove maker ISA Corp. has announced it will open a production facility in Geneva County, with plans to hire 80 over the next two years.

The Oregon-based company will occupy a 45,000-square-foot building in the Geneva County Industrial Park off Alabama 167 in Hartford, a town near the Florida state line.

The Alabama Department of Commerce characterized the announcement as a “million dollar investment.”

“This project is further proof of the tremendous collaboration of regional teamwork working with ISA Alabama at the state, regional and local levels,” Alabama Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield said in a statement.

The company, which makes more than 100 million dipped nitrile latex products a year, is planning to be in operation in the third quarter of 2023. ISA Alabama Corp. will make nitrile gloves, latex gloves and boot coverings.

The project brought together the Alabama Department of Commerce, AIDT, the Alabama Department of Transportation, the Wiregrass Economic Development Corp. and the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce/Grow Dothan, along with the governments of Hartford, Dothan and Enterprise.
