​Gruppo Fanti, a metal packaging manufacturing company headquartered in Bologna, Italy, will open its first U.S.-based plant in Weirton, planning to invest $30 million into the Brooke County (Weirton, West Virginia) operation.

The new manufacturing facility will produce metal packaging containers with state-of-the art equipment, creating an initial 40 new full-time jobs.
This investment is not only the first production facility in the United States for the parent entity Gruppo Fanti, but also the largest expansion project in the company’s 77-year history. Renovations are anticipated to be completed in the latter part of 2022, with facility operation beginning shortly after.
