NORWICH – CWS is examining options for an expansion project that could create another 25 jobs, according to Chapter President John McHale.

CWS is a contract packaging company located at 17 Midland Dr. in Norwich. Currently, it employs approximately 150 people. Of those employees, approximately 120 have some type of physical or mental disability.

Early this year, CWS Vice President of Sales and Marketing Timothy Notter explained that despite the ailing economy, the company had seen a 20 percent increase in sales over the past year. In 2008, the company was able to add 25 new accounts.

With the increases in sales, CWS has seen the need for an expansion project, and currently, they are investigating options. Five different plants make up the work portion of CWS, which also serves the community with dayhab facilities and residential programs.
