Load Covering Solutions to Create 30 Jobs, Open Manufacturing Plant in Cadiz

Load Covering Solutions, a producer and distributor of tarp systems for commercial trucks and trailers, has announced plans to construct a $2 million plant in Trigg County.

The new 12,000-square-foot manufacturing and installation facility is expected to create up to 30 jobs in coming years. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, with operations starting by late summer 2022. Operations at the shop will include production, assembly, service, and repair of its retractable tarpaulin systems.

LCS will become one of nearly 40 Canadian-owned facilities operating in the Commonwealth. Since the beginning of 2020, Canada-based businesses have announced projects creating over 400 full-time jobs in Kentucky with over $280 million in new investment.

Established in 1979 in Ontario, Canada, LCS produces a range of covers for its customers, which include the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, government contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, leaders in aviation and space exploration, as well as a range of fleets, owner-operators, trailer manufacturers, and general commercial businesses.
