Mayor: US Medical Glove to occupy former St. Bernard Soap plant, expects 150–200 jobs
Summary
Mayor Jonathan Stuchler told council that US Medical Glove Company plans to occupy the former St. Bernard Soap Company manufacturing facility and estimates it will bring 150–200 jobs; production is expected to start within about 30–45 days and a formal press release is forthcoming.
Mayor Jonathan Stuchler told the Village Council that US Medical Glove Company, headquartered in Harvard, Illinois, intends to occupy the former St. Bernard Soap Company manufacturing facility and expects to bring 150 to 200 jobs to the site.
"They estimate having bringing 150 to 200 jobs to that facility," Stuchler said, adding that the company manufactures its own production lines and hopes to have production running within "30 to 45 days." He said a formal press release will be issued when details are finalized.
The announcement followed council business and was presented as a positive development for the village’s local economy. The mayor said the firm chose St. Bernard and that village officials held a Teams meeting with company representatives the week of the meeting.
The mayor did not provide formal incentives, tax terms, or a timeline for hiring beyond the company’s estimate. He said he would share a press release with more details when available.
Next steps: the mayor said he will provide additional information to council when the company issues its official announcement.
