Church & Dwight Constructs Green Design

Church & Dwight Co. Inc. began construction of a new Arm & Hammer laundry detergent manufacturing facility and distribution center in Jackson Township, York County, Penn., approximately 100 miles from Philadelphia. The facility will occupy 1.1 million square feet of building space on a 232-acre site and will feature a new design for energy use and waste reduction. The construction project is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.

Church & Dwight Chairman and CEO James R. Craigie says, "We begin work on a new facility with a truly state-of-the-art 'green' design, reflecting our company's long-standing commitment to protecting the environment. We received exceptional cooperation from York County and Pennsylvania in terms of site development, building design, permits and incentives and are looking forward to becoming part of the community here."
