Rubbermaid Chooses Winchester for Major Plant
Rubbermaid selected Winchester in 1967 for a new plant to attract workers from across the country. John Gans, company president, cited accessibility to the east coast, strong trucking service, proximity to a major airport within 100 miles, and local incentives as keys. About 250 employees work three shifts, with operations continuing without full shutdown. The Winchester site joins two other Rubbermaid plants in Ohio and North Carolina, producing plastic and rubber utensils sold nationwide and to the West Indies.
