03/24/2025
The investment will include the construction of a 125,000-square-foot facility, co-located with the company’s existing Specialty Grains and Powders operations, which will expand production of catalyst carriers. Operations are scheduled to begin by 2028.
"We are excited for NorPro to join the Niagara County community. Our new manufacturing facility in Wheatfield will become our second North America manufacturing site for our catalytic products and will enable us to meet rising customer demand,” said Tihana Tresler, General Manager of Saint-Gobain NorPro. “We thank the Wheatfield community, Niagara County, the New York Power Authority and the State of New York for their support.”
The project is being supported with funds from local and state economic investment programs, including $1 million from the New York State Excelsior Program.
“Upstate New York is becoming a global competitor in advanced manufacturing, thanks to the state’s strategic investments in a skilled workforce, quality of life benefits, and innovative academic-industry partnerships,” noted Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Hope Knight. “Western New York was shaped by the might of manufacturing, and there’s no question that the increase of investments by global companies will further add to the region’s growth.”
Saint-Gobain NorPro, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain Ceramics, currently operates North American manufacturing facilities in Bryan, Texas, Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, and Stow and Norton, Ohio.
