June 22, 2021 – GOJO Industries and Three Rivers Energy announced a sourcing partnership to enhance its manufacturing capacity for PURELL products and responsiveness to surges in demand.
GOJO Industries is partnering with Three Rivers Energy to expand its Coshocton, Ohio, facility to produce USP grade ethanol from Ohio corn. GOJO will use this new, local source of high-grade ethanol to make its PURELL Hand Sanitizer, Surface Spray, and Wipes products.
Having a dedicated source of ethanol will enable GOJO to meet current demand and allow it to rapidly scale up production of PURELL products in case of a future surge so it can provide more widespread access to its products, the company says.
Work will begin on the expanded facility this fall and is scheduled to be complete by fall 2022.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
