Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. will break ground for its newest multi-million dollar manufacturing plant and its first in New Jersey on Tuesday, August 22 at 2 PM.

Located on 32 acres at the intersection of Center Square and Pedricktown Roads in Logan Township, Gloucester County, the new 68,000 square foot, $12 million plant will:

--Expand the services of this Ohio-based company to the Eastern United States storm water drainage market, and

--Create 100 new jobs.

ADS's creation of new manufacturing jobs in New Jersey is in contrast with the state's loss of more than 100,000 such jobs over the last five years.

Gloucester County Freeholder Director and State Senator Stephen Sweeney and Assemblyman Doug Fisher will join ADS President and CEO Joseph A. Chlapaty and other invited guests at the ceremony.

ADS is the world's leading manufacturer of smooth interior corrugated high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE).

The company has 35 facilities and 3,800 employees nationwide and a global network of more than 40 domestic and international manufacturing plants and 30 distribution centers.
