<p>PITTSTON TWP. &#8212; With the snip of a ribbon Tuesday, Cintas completed its expansion in the CenterPoint Commerce &amp; Trade Park, and the move promises to add dozens of jobs.</p><p>According to Maria Scagliotti, director of the Cintas National Accounts Fire Center, Cintas Corp. has been occupying a space at CenterPoint West, but rapid expansion made a second location necessary in CenterPoint East.</p><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve expanded from 10 partners to 50, and we&#8217;re looking to have 100 employees within the next five years,&#8221; Scagliotti said.</p><p>Cintas&#8217; new location will house the National Accounts Receivable Center, which is responsible for dealing with invoices for Cintas&#8217; customers nationwide. Scagliotti said the original location will still be home to the company&#8217;s fire division, which provides fire protection services like installing sprinklers and alarms.</p><p>Scagliotti said the approximately 65 new jobs will be entry-level, but will offer room for growth within the rapidly expanding company.</p><p>&#8220;People see our jobs posted online and they ask me, &#8216;Is the turnover that high?&#8221; Scagliotti said.</p><p>&#8220;No, we&#8217;re just growing that fast.&#8221;</p><p>While Scagliotti said exact salary information would only be made available during the hiring process, she did say those interested could find information about the jobs on the company&#8217;s website, www.cintas.com, or through job posting websites like Indeed.</p><p>Cintas leases the spaces it occupies from Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services. The CenterPoint park in Pittston Township is the company&#8217;s largest development, according to a press release.</p><p>In the release, Mericle&#8217;s vice president, Bill Jones, spoke about how Cintas&#8217; involvement shines a positive light on Pittston Township.</p><p>&#8220;Cintas&#8217; decision to first locate in CenterPoint and now expand here speaks volumes about the park, the quality of the region&#8217;s workforce and the pro-business attitude in Pittston Township,&#8221; he said.</p><style>
