CARBO Ceramics Brings Proppants to Toomsboro Recently, CARBO Ceramics, the world’s leading producer and supplier of ceramic proppants, broke ground on a new $62 million manufacturing facility in Toomsboro, Ga. The 40-acre new facility will feature CARBO’s highly automated manufacturing system, run by workers trained by Quick Start. “Quick Start is going to really help in terms of providing pre-employment training,” commented CARBO Senior Human Resources Representative Chris Hooper at the recent training plan signing in Wilkinson County. The Quick Start training will include 15 classes designed to provide an overview of the company and its manufacturing processes for new hires, as well as provide them with safety awareness. After Quick Start completes its training, Central Georgia Technical College will become a partner with CARBO by offering long-term training.
The Toomsboro facility is the company’s second plant in Georgia, and is expected to open in December of 2005.
