The state has provided a grant of $2.48 million towards a $397 million manufacturing center and American headquarters, with additional assistance available for job training and infrastructure support. Nipro plans to create 232 new jobs in Greenville, with an average salary of $56,147 per year. The company&#8217;s decision to choose North Carolina over Virginia has been met with some skepticism from economists regarding the effectiveness of financial incentives for private businesses. Despite this, the state expects the project to generate $797 million in economic growth. Nipro&#8217;s new facility in Greenville will focus on producing medical devices for patients with various health issues, as well as providing training for healthcare providers and customer service. This announcement comes shortly after another Japanese company, Morinaga, revealed plans for a $136 million factory expansion in Orange County.
