DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (AP) - Bercen Inc., which provides specialty chemicals for paper-related industries, has opened its new corporate headquarters in Denham Springs following a relocation from Rhode Island. State economic officials say the $5 million relocation and expansion project has created 20 high-paying professional jobs, 18 of which already are in place. In addition to its headquarters, Bercen relocated its research and development laboratories from Cranston, R.I., to Denham Springs. The company agreed to move in June 2008. Bercen is using a $500,000 state incentive for relocation and site expenses. The company is expected to apply for the state's industrial tax exemption program.
