A. Background In1921,KolmarwasfoundedinMilwaukee,Wisconsin,byLessingL.KoleandFrederickMarsek. KolmaristhelargestcontractmanufacturerinNorthAmericaoffinecolorcosmetics,personalcare products,andoverthecounterpharmaceuticals. TheCompanyhasbroadbasedcapabilitiesand produceslotions,powdersandpressedpowders(makeupandfoundation),eyemakeup(mascara), fragrancesandlipsticks(includinglipbalms,etc.),andvariousoverthecounterproducts,including sunscreens,nasalspraysandacnepreparations. TheCompanyhasdevelopednobrandsofitsown, butinsteadmanufactureshighlyrecognizableproductsforNeutrogena(adivisionofJohnsonand Johnson),Mary KayCosmetics,andProcter&Gambleamongothers. TheCompanysprincipal competitorsincludeAccessBusinessGroup,AccraPac,CCareLLC,andChicagoAerosol. Additionally,Kolmarprovidesbroaderservicesthansimplyfillingconsumerpackages,andasa resultowns75%oftheintellectualproperty(formulas,etc.),creatingbarrierstothetransferof existingproductsbeingmanufacturedtocompetitors. Kolmarcanprovideafullrangeofservices including:newproductdevelopment formulationprocessdesignpurchasingandsourcing manufacturing distributionandinventorymanagement,planningandscheduling. In2008,after over65yearsofoperation andseriesofrecentownershipchanges,Kolmarannounced thatitwasconsideringclosingitsPortJervisfacility,whereitemploysapproximately500people. TheCompanyconsideredrelocatingitsfacilitytoTexas,NewJersey orLouisiana,whichofferedto fullysubsidizeitsrelocation andtheconstructionofanewstateoftheartfacility. Kolmar approachedESDforfinancialassistance,andESDoffereda$1,000,000 capitalgrantonJuly18, 2008, toinducetheCompanytoremaininPortJervis. In2010,KolmarreachedouttoESDpriorto finalizingitscontractforrelocationtoLouisiana theCompany,whichwasalreadystrugglingdue tolackofinvestmentoverthelast15yearsbyvariousowners,hadsufferedsignificantlyduringthe economicdownturn.Ithadbeenforcedtolayoffalmost100employeesandwasnowfacinga majorfundinggapforitsworkingcapitalneeds.Withseveral originally anticipatedfinancing sourcesunabletocommitfunding,Kolmarfacedthepossibility ofclosingdownitsPortJervis facility.
