MSK Covertech Inc. is expected to break ground on its new North American Headquarters in just a few months, which will be located in Cherokee 75 Corporate Park, an industrial center located in the southwest corner of the county. MSK is one of the leading international manufacturers of packaging and logistics systems for pallet load units and large containers. The corporation is based in Kleve, on the Lower Rhine in Germany. However, many of its North American customers are companies headquartered in Georgia, such as Coca-Cola, Shaw, Quikrete and Georgia Pacific. MSK was unique, because the corporation had several specialized needs, said Marshall Day, Chairman of the Cherokee Office of Economic Development (COED). For example, the facility had to have 30-foot ceilings in order for the automated machinery to operate. This site works perfectly for that and gives them the opportunity to double in size. Braden Camp, Vice President of MSK said, As an international company, we knew we wanted to be along the I-75 corridor. Cherokee had a site we could move quickly on as well as a highly educated workforce.
