A Bowling Green, Ky., business is expanding to add 65 full-time jobs as part of a $50 million investment.

A statement from Gov. Steve Beshear says SCA's North American Personal Care operations will add nearly 90,000 square feet to its existing plant.

Beshear says the investment will create "well-paying, full-time jobs with excellent benefits."

The plant manufactures a line of adult incontinence care products for retail and health care markets, and has 180 employees.

Sune Lundin, president of SCA Americas, says the expansion will allow the company to make products in Bowling Green that had been previously imported from Europe.

The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority has preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives worth up to $1.6 million over 10 years.
