Precision machining service provider Bullen Ultrasonics plans to expand its Technology Development Center in Eaton, Ohio. The $14 million project is expected to create 55 jobs.

The investment will support critical industry sector growth in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace composites, and micro-electromechanical systems.

"Bullen Ultrasonics has a history of making bold advancements to have a positive impact on our community and the industries we serve. We value the importance of investing into our employees, our technologies, and our facilities in order to support our customers," Bullen President Tim Beatty said. "Our partnership with JobsOhio and the City of Eaton will allow us to take major strides forward to meet the ever-growing demands for advanced technology in the Semiconductor, MEMS, and Aerospace sectors. The expansion of our TDC will allow us to implement robotic automation, data automation, and further develop our latest MicroLucent™ technology in order to increase market share and improve value for our existing customers."

Bullen Ultrasonics will receive up to $1 million in assistance from a JobsOhio R&D Center Grant to support precision machining manufacturing and other advanced technologies. The program was created to facilitate new and expanding strategic corporate R&D centers in Ohio. Such R&D centers support the development and commercialization of emerging technologies and products.

"Bullen Ultrasonics's investment strengthens Ohio's position to lead the nation in the development of new technology to enhance reliability, accuracy, and longevity within several critical industries that are important to the future of the state," noted J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio president and CEO. "This expansion aligns with the state's longtime goal to boost research in advanced materials for the aerospace industry, continues to position us as a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing, and will result in high-wage, skilled jobs for the residents of Preble County."
