Israel-Based Katz 1899 Plans Dayton, Ohio, Manufacturing Operations

02/23/2026
Katz 1899 Inc., a joint venture between Israel-based engineering firm Katz Group and Peck Hannaford & Briggs Company, plans to establish operations in Dayton, Ohio. The more than $1.7 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

The new manufacturing facility, located at 1960 Troy Street, will specialize in the design, fabrication, construction, and maintenance of process, manufacturing, electromechanical, and architectural systems.

“Launching our operation in Ohio is a clear statement of our belief in the region and its long-standing commitment for advanced manufacturing. Katz contributes deep technical expertise and a strong culture of quality in complex industrial facilities, while Peck Hannaford + Briggs brings more than a century of local leadership and execution know-how. Together, Katz 1899 is positioned to serve industries and organizations that make a real, life-changing impact,” said Dor Katz, CEO of Katz Group.

To support the project the Ohio Tax Credit Authority (TCA) approved a 1.647 percent, eight-year Job Creation Tax Credit.

“Katz Group’s partnership with Peck Hannaford + Briggs reflects a long-term growth strategy that establishes Katz 1899’s new North American operations in Dayton while creating 50 jobs,” noted J.P. Nauseef, president and CEO of JobsOhio.

Katz Group produces industrial process systems for factories, laboratories, and clean rooms for microelectronics, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, water treatment, and food and beverage customers. The company specializes in the design, fabrication, construction, and maintenance of process, manufacturing, electromechanical, and architectural systems.
