Based out of Quebec,Canada, they create an organic fiber, more commonly used in building products and even the brake lining on our cars.

"A spun mineral fiber that's inorganic vitreous. It's used in a number of industrial and commercial, including ceiling tiles, that's one of the in-use applications for the mineral fiber," says President and C.E.O. of Fibrox Technology, Russell Craig.

The land next to Eramet on Route 7 is the planned site for the new plant. They'll take advantage of their new next door neighbors, a raw material called Slag is a by-product of Eramet and it's a material that Fibrox needs to make their fiber.

"Placing the facility as closest to the source of the Slag in its molten form makes all the sense in the world, the more molten we use, the less energy required to re-meld solid Slag, the less energy used to re-meld solid Slag means less electricity used, less cost, all kinds of good environmental things happening," says Craig.

A company so large calls for 40 skilled employees, beneficial to Washington County and the entire Mid Ohio Valley.

"Because they are skilled they are not entry level jobs. These people that need some type of training, some type of experience. So, these are jobs that pay well, which helps the local economy when we get higher paying jobs in," says Director of the Marietta Chamber of Commerce, Charlotte Keim.

Craig says expanding their business into the American market is good for Fibrox Technology's economy as well.

It's not certain yet whether they'll be moving to the valley anytime soon, they have to get finances in order first and also make sure the land is environmentally compatible for the new plant.
