Amthor Expands, Hurt Town Hall Meets | Roanoke News

Amthor International just unveiled its massive new 33,000-square-foot facility in Gretna, marking a huge leap forward for the company and the local economy. Since opening in 1928, this North America’s largest energy manufacturer has grown from zero orders to dominating the market for truck tanks used in fuel, propane, construction, and even portable restrooms. The expansion, expected to create 50–75 new jobs, is just the beginning — they’re hiring welders, mechanics, and electricians and planning factory-owned shops nationwide. Local leaders celebrated the ribbon-cutting, signaling strong business confidence in the region. Meanwhile, residents of Hurt are invited to a town hall meeting this Wednesday at 6 PM to discuss a potential grant that could upgrade their aging water treatment infrastructure — a vital chance to shape their community’s future.
