Merit Medical Systems opens new facilities in South Jordan

SOUTH JORDAN — Merit Medical Systems Inc. will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new facilities in South Jordan at 4 p.m. Monday at 1600 W. Merit Parkway (9800 S. Redwood Road).

The event marks the completions of a two-year construction project that expanded Merit's capacity in Utah by more than 180,000 square feet. The $24 million project has nearly doubled Merit's existing square footage, paving the way for increased production.

Merit said it has added 134 new positions to its Utah work force, a $4.2 million payroll increase.
