But the firm &#8220;chose to expand in Brunswick County for ease of access to raw materials supply and better access to a skilled workforce,\u201d said Tim Gerasimov, president of Bluegrass Protective Films.<\/p>\n<p>He said the\u00a0addition of a shipping center in North Carolina &#8220;will also allow us to offer two-day ground UPS shipping to most of our East Coast customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gerasimov said the company is leasing its Leland space, with the possibility of eventually using 40,000 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>The release said Brunswick BID led the effort to support Bluegrass Protective Films in its expansion in Brunswick County.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While initial employment is projected to be 17 within the first 3 years, there is potential for employment to increase to 33 and investment to almost $8 million within 5 years with average annual wages of $50,576, which exceeds the current average wage of $42,500 in Brunswick County,&#8221; the release stated.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Thompson, chairman of the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners, said in the release that such wages will help grow the local economy and attract more manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>More information about the company&#8217;s products can be gleaned from an August 2019 news release about the launch of its Legend Paint Protection Brand.<\/p>\n<p>Legend Paint Protection Film &#8220;was founded in 2018 by a team of industry leaders and experts with a vision to design and manufacture the most protective and maintenance-free paint protection film product for car owners,&#8221; the release stated. &#8220;With the professional installer in mind, we purposely designed and engineered Legend film to be remarkably easy to install.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A manufacturer in the automotive industry is expanding its operations by occupying space in Leland Innovation Park.
