AMfg Labs Expands Belmont County, Ohio, Production Operations

11/25/2024
AMfg Labs, an advanced manufacturing and R&D product development center, plans to expand its operations in Belmont County, Ohio. The $1.1 million project is expected to create 15 jobs.

The investment includes new 3D printers, injection molding machines, composite fabrication, sintering, and a training center.

“We are incredibly excited and grateful to receive this grant from JobsOhio. This support will significantly enhance our ability to advance cutting-edge manufacturing solutions here at AMfg Labs,” said Luke Phalen, Chief Operating Officer of AMfg Labs. “We sincerely appreciate the continued efforts of JobsOhio, OhioSE, and the Belmont County Port Authority for their dedication to fostering innovation and growth in our region. Their support has been instrumental in helping us take the next step in our journey, and we look forward to the positive impact this partnership will bring to both our company and the local community.”

The project is being supported by a $350,000 JobsOhio Revitalization Grant. The JobsOhio Revitalization Program offers loans and grants to bridge the financial gap between the appealing cost of brownfield sites and the cost of site redevelopment.

“AMfg Labs is an innovative, Ohio-founded company creating American-made products critical to the U.S. industrial sector and national defense,” noted JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “The revitalization of its current building will allow AMfg to expand operations, create new jobs in the advanced manufacturing space, and continue to advance its cutting-edge injection molding and 3D printing solutions for its growing list of clients.”

AMfg Labs focuses on high-performing materials and processes that leverage the new and innovative forming technologies associated with casting, injection molding and 3D printing. The process produces molds or structures essential for producing intricate composite materials, notably used in industries like aerospace, defense, and automotive.

“We are pleased to be a part of the growth of AMfg Labs as the company expands into Belmont County,” added Katy Farber, OhioSE Interim President. “Advanced Manufacturing is at the core of many operations in the OhioSE region and we welcome this new investment.”
