A Graves County home fragrance manufacturer will be expanding and adding 52 full-time jobs. Governor Matt Bevin Wednesday congratulated Mayfield Consumer Products, LLC (MCP), which designs and manufactures branded candles and home fragrance products, on its plans spend more than $8.3 million to add a facility to the existing building and build a new facility.
A release says MCP, retained by the Propes family after divesting their interests in MVP Group International, will use $5.55 million of its investment for the purchase and renovation of an existing 80,000-square-foot-plus facility on Rifle Trail in Mayfield that formerly houses in Remington. The new facility will create 35 jobs and its operation will consist of increased capacity as well as creating multiple new manufacturing capabilities in an effort to expand into diversified markets and create more value added services.
Officials say the company also will expand its existing operation in Mayfield with a more than $2.77 million investment that will create 17 additional employees. Both projects come in response to increased customer demand within Mayfield Consumer Products’ candle production business.
Senator Stan Humphries, of Cadiz, commended the company for building strong relationships in the community for 20 years, and says he’s proud they have chosen to continue to expand in Graves County by utilizing our local workforce and all the resources western Kentucky has to offer.
Representative Richard Heath, of Mayfield, also expressed appreciation for the company’s commitment.
