manufacturing services and warehouse management . Priding itself on being a low-cost , high-quality business , XLC specializes in distribution and manufacturing environments throughout the U . S . and Canada .
“ XLC has had the opportunity to work with P & G in several locations across the country , and Martinsburg is meaningful since it is our first venture in West Virginia ,” says Eric Cheatham , talent acquisition director for the company . “ P & G has been a valued client of XLC Services since 1988 . We are both headquartered in Cincinnati , Ohio , and our strong and positive business relationship has continued to grow throughout the years in multiple locations throughout the Midwest and South . Having a new operation in West Virginia has provided us an opportunity to further diversify our business footprint and provide employment opportunities to a greater number of talented candidates in the region .”
Since starting its new location in Martinsburg in early 2021 , XLC has already experienced significant growth in the number of workers hired into permanent positions for the company .
Another business that has grown significantly since partnering with P & G is Manpower , a staffing and recruiting agency that prides itself on being highly ethical .
“ P & G has been in the Martinsburg , WV , area for about four years , and its presence has had a huge impact on our local Manpower office as well as the local economy for the Eastern Panhandle ,” says Lisa Coblentz , franchise owner
of Manpower . “ After 35 years in Martinsburg , we are very pleased to continue to be a major employer in the region . It has enabled us to have a positive impact on both the local workforce and the local economy .”
Technimark , a plastics manufacturing service and leading supplier for consumer goods , health care and global industrial companies , works alongside P & G to help meet its ever-increasing customer needs . With a location in Martinsburg , Technimark has been able to expand its footprint in ways once thought impossible .
“ As a company , we have presence in West Virginia , thanks to P & G ,” says Erika Cordero , human resources and organizational development manager for Technimark . “ We opened our site in West Virginia to be an in-house strategic partner in a real-time , fast-paced environment . We started the site with around four employees that transferred from our headquarters . As of today , we have around 80 employees in our site , all thanks to P & G business .”
Because P & G firmly planted its roots in the Martinsburg area , the entire state of West Virginia is reaping the benefits and will continue to for years to come .
“ P & G has come in with 1,650 jobs in the area and with that comes another 1,000 jobs with our direct partners and another 300 construction jobs ,” says O ’ Brien . “ As we onboard new hire classes , we discuss where everyone is from . It is great to hear the number of people that say they grew up here , left for several years but have come back home now that there is more opportunity in the area .” •
