Jacksonville, FL — It's creating at least 50 local jobs.

Hans-Mill Corp, a manufacturer of stainless steel trash cans, celebrated the grand opening of its first US factory today in Jacksonville, moving production from China.

The new 121,000 square foot factory was built as part of Walmart's 'American Jobs Initiative', which is a 10-year commitment to buy an additional $250 billion in products supporting American jobs.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry attended the grand opening, saying, "With the opening of this new facility, we are increasing Jacksonville's growing reputation as a hub for international business."

The City of Jacksonville approved $200,000 in incentives to lure the company to our area.
