Headquartered in Bainbridge for over a decade, Danimer currently employs more than 100 people in southwest Georgia. Danimer expects to construct an additional 2,000,000-square-foot facility near their current 25-acre campus, located at 140 Industrial Boulevard in Bainbridge. The company will hire for technical positions and careers in production, maintenance and management.
Applications for Danimer’s biopolymers include additives, aqueous coatings, fibers, filaments, films, hot-melt adhesives and injection-molded articles.
