On February 15, Governor Chafee toured Rhode Island business PolyWorks, Inc., a North Smithfield-based company that has grown from 34 employees to 90 employees in just one year. PolyWorks, Inc. manufactures a range of products made from foams, gels, and adhesives.
The company is planning to move from two twelve-hour shifts to three twelve-hour shifts in order to keep up with product demand. The Governor, who toured the facility along with representatives from the Governor’s Workforce Board and the Department of Labor and Training, met with employees of PolyWorks, Inc. as they worked.
“The success of Rhode Island businesses like PolyWorks, Inc. sends a positive message for the future of our state’s economic development,” said Governor Chafee.
The Governor has made a commitment to the kind of job creation that PolyWorks, Inc. has demonstrated and will continue to make it a priority in his administration.
