Gov. Andy Beshear announced another investment within the state’s advanced manufacturing industry as ValorFlex Packaging of Kentucky – a new wholly owned subsidiary of ValorFlex Holdings – will establish an advanced manufacturing facility in Bowling Green with a $23.4 million investment, creating 82 quality Kentucky jobs.
“Team Kentucky’s manufacturing industry continues to boost our red-hot economy,” Gov. Beshear said. “As companies from coast to coast look to expand and relocate businesses, many are quickly realizing Kentucky checks every box as one of the most business-friendly environments in the country and the greatest workforce. I want to welcome ValorFlex to their New Kentucky Home and look forward to the company’s future success.”
The new facility will anchor the company’s operational growth and serve as a hub for packaging innovation, expanding ValorFlex’s manufacturing capabilities. The facility will house a state-of-the-art flexographic printing press along with laminating and slitting equipment, pouch-making machines and support equipment to increase efficiency in flexible packaging production.
“This is more than an expansion – it’s a homecoming,” said Thomas Hazlette, president and CEO of ValorFlex Packaging. “We chose Bowling Green because it embodies the values we believe in – a dedication to people, a focus on workforce and a strong community. It’s the perfect place for our team to grow, and we’re proud to call it our New Kentucky Home.”

ValorFlex Packaging of Kentucky Inc. is a veteran-owned, flexible packaging provider specializes in custom pouching, lamination and flexographic printing. The company serves clients in the food and beverage, pet food, health and beauty and specialty product sectors. In 2025, the company expanded its capabilities and geographic reach – now proudly calling Bowling Green, Kentucky, its newest home.
