Vita Nonwovens will Wednesday celebrate the expansion of its Fort Wayne facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The 150,000-square-foot expansion will allow the company to house a new production line and add 22 employees.

The site, operational since 2003, was formerly 108,000 square feet and held the company’s thermo-bonding, needling, lamination and die-cut technology.

The  $18 million expansion will add space to the facility to help meet Vita Nonwovens growing demand.

A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 1 p.m. at 9403 Avionics Drive.
