Cardinal Ethanol settles complaint
Business Roundup
Cardinal Ethanol in Union City recently paid a $9,600 fine to settle a complaint that the company violated its Clean Air Act operating permit.
It had been the only biofuels plant in East Central Indiana that had not yet paid a civil penalty for alleged air or water violation, according to The Star Press.
The company did not take reasonable steps to restore an air pollution scrubber’s operation to normal operation as soon as practical during planned shutdowns between 2011 and 2013, according to Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
Additionally, the company failed to record visible emissions of baghouse exhaust around Christmas time in 2012, according to IDEM.
Staff updates
John Hoying announced his retirement as the Medical Education Development (MED) Foundation Director at Mercer Health, which Hoying has served at for over six years.
Current Marketing Coordinator, Mindy Kremer, will be promoted to director of marketing and communication for the MED Foundation.
Deb Hemmelgarn was appointed Community Relations Coordinator for Mercer County, with experience in managing fundraising events.
Two new plants
Ardagh Group, parent company of Dunkirk’s glass container plant, is opening two new can manufacturing facilities to bring new metal packaging technology to the United States following a supply agreement with ConAgra Foods, one of North America’s largest packaged food companies.
The factories are located in Reno, Nev., and Roanoke, Va.
Over $230 million has been invested in two new state-of-the-art DWI can making facilities in Reno and Roanoke that will manufacture Ardagh’s flexible drawn and wall-ironed (DWI) cans as well as traditional 3-piece cans.
These unique thin-wall DWI food cans are new to America following a successful launch in Europe.
Eighty-five new jobs have been created to operate the facility in Reno and one hundred new jobs in Roanoke where, in addition to DWI and 3-piece cans, also sanitary ends will be produced.
Both plants will be officially opened in early November at invitation-only celebratory events in front of groups of local dignitaries and representatives from both companies.
