🏭Compact Membrane Systems expands with $3.1 million facility, plans to triple workforce
Compact Membrane Systems Inc, a 30-year-old Delaware company specializing in carbon capture technology, has announced plans to expand into a new $3.1 million facility in the New Castle area near the Wilmington Airport, allowing it to triple its workforce by adding 38 more jobs.
As an economic incentive to expand in Delaware, the company received a Graduated Lab Space Grant of up to $760,480, and a Jobs Performance Grant of up to $115,000 from the Delaware Strategic Fund, in an application to the Council on Development Finance supported by the Delaware Prosperity Partnership. To receive the money, the company must meet certain commitments, including job creation.
“CMS has grown up as a Delaware company and, through this state support, is excited to cement our future in Delaware,” said Erica Nemser, Compact Membrane System’s CEO. Nemser’s father, former DuPont scientist Stuart Nemser, founded the company in Wilmington in 1993.
