The state of New Mexico has pledged $500,000 towards the project and the company is seeking $12m in industrial revenue bonds to fund it.

The expansion will enable the company to operate seven days a week as opposed to the five days it does currently.

The company manufactures bags for US Cotton, as well as packaging for fruit, tortillas and other grocery products.
