Coweta County's

gain is Fayette's loss.

Coweta officials

announced last week that Fayette's DuChem Industries is relocating to

the recently shuttered Slumberland Mattress location in the county's industrial

park.

The company

is one of the country's leading national supplier of sanitation detergents,

sanitizers, specialty chemicals and in-plant technical service for the

food processing industry.

DuChem's CEO

Dave Duford said the company has been in Fayetteville since 1989 and just

ran out of room at its current facility at Robinson Way.

"Our business

is expanding and we couldn't find a suitable site in Fayette County,"

said Duford.

The company

currently operates a 15,000 sq. ft. facility in Fayette, but is moving

to a 75,000 sq. ft. building in Coweta.

DuChem's chief

financial officer Dan Marischuk said the company is starting renovations

on the building and said the process could take three months.
