The Pitch
JEBTAL Imports, LLC is set to invest in land acquisition for a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ohio, specifically targeting the Cleveland, Ohio area. Construction is slated to begin in the spring of 2025. This facility will initially house three production lines dedicated to glove manufacturing to meet the increasing demand in the disposable glove market.
The state of Ohio, the city of Cleveland, and Metro Health are championing Jebtal’s expansion of its manufacturing and distribution operations in the region. Here’s why this is an extraordinary opportunity for investors:
1. Prime Real Estate: Ohio is offering 40-80 acres in the Cleveland or Toledo areas, catering precisely to Jebtal’s requirements, including:
– New sewer infrastructure
– A modern utilities station
– Abundant water access
2. Investment Perks: Jebtal seeks an opportunity zone designation, promising significant tax incentives and other benefits for investors.
3. Substantial State Funding: The state of Ohio is prepared to provide funding opportunities up to $100 million, ensuring robust financial support for this venture.
4. Strategic Partnerships: Collaboration with leading local health systems, including Metro Health, Cleveland Clinics, and Promedica, will secure and streamline production lines.
5. Optimal Logistics: The Cleveland Port, the largest export port in the USA, is a critical asset, particularly for the export of medical instruments, which are among the top goods shipped from this hub.
Jebtal is currently collaborating with these stakeholders to determine the suitability of Ohio for this significant expansion. This initiative not only promises substantial returns but also positions investors at the forefront of a thriving and strategic market.

The Market & Traction
Jebtal Imports has initiated negotiations with the city of Cleveland to secure land developed by the State of Ohio for industrial manufacturing, aiming to create local jobs. The company seeks 44 acres to construct a 160,000-square-foot facility dedicated to production and warehousing. Due to the specific requirements of glove manufacturing, which necessitate facilities at least 40 feet in height for line installation, new construction is essential.
Jebtal Imports is collaborating with the Cleveland Economic Development Corporation and Cuyahoga County officials to obtain land, expedite city permits, and secure approvals for sewage and electricity. The strategic goal is to position the facility within 20 miles of Interstate 75, and railroad lines. This proximity will facilitate the efficient transport of raw materials to the facility and the distribution of finished goods to customers both domestically and internationally.
