(Boone County, Ky.) – A playing card manufacturer and distributor that has operated in Kentucky since 2008 is expanding its Boone County operation.

Today, Governor Andy Beshear announced that United States Playing Card Company (USPC) will be expanding their Erlanger facility with a significant investment, creating 10 full-time jobs – which primarily include production technicians and machine operators as well as roles in engineering, customer service, sales and production planning.

The new jobs are expected to pay an average hourly wage of $37.79 including benefits.

To meet increased demand, USPC will expand its Boone County operation, allowing for additional manufacturing capacity by adding a new production line. The project will include new and upgraded equipment as well as facility upgrades.

“The growth we are seeing in Kentucky-based companies manufacturing, producing and distributing their products to customers across the U.S. and internationally is a testament to the quality of businesses we have throughout the state,” said Gov. Beshear. “The United States Playing Card Co. located here in the commonwealth in 2008 and has never looked back, continually investing and growing in the Northern Kentucky region. I am thrilled to see them expanding once again and look forward to the company’s continued success here in Boone County.”

USPC was founded in Cincinnati with manufacturing operations at a factory in Norwood for over 100 years. Due to business growth and a need for a larger more efficient manufacturing site, USPC began operations in Kentucky in 2008.

Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore thanked USPC for expanding its headquarters and manufacturing operations: “We welcome this expansion and the new good-paying jobs and capacity that will be added at their Northern Kentucky facility. Their playing cards, found around the world, are made right here in Northern Kentucky.”
