Nordson Corporation Expands Austintown, Ohio, Manufacturing Hub
09/16/2016
In the polymer processing industry, Nordson provides customers with engineered components to melt, homogenize, filter, meter, and give shape to plastic and fluid coating materials. Nordson delivers a full range of precision melt stream products including screws and barrels, filtration systems, pumps, valves, dies and pelletizing systems to meet the constantly evolving needs of the polymer industry.
“We expect this initiative to drive efficiencies in manufacturing processes, decrease lead times, enhance customer service, improve competitiveness and accelerate growth,” said John Keane, Nordson Corporate Senior Vice President. “Our plan is for Austintown to join similar regional hubs for our screw and barrel products in Thailand and Germany. No other single supplier will be able to provide the polymer industry with such localized service on a global scale.”
Nordson expects the transition to an existing facility in Austintown to be completed over the next 18 months, subject to the conclusion of customary negotiations with local and state officials. The transition will occur in stages to minimize any potential impact to current customers. Planned investments in the facility over the period include upgraded bi-metallic processing and machining systems to improve product quality, precision and throughout.
The majority of positions in its existing Youngstown, New Castle and Pulaski facilities will transfer to the Austintown facility. Total employment in Austintown is expected to be approximately 260. Nordson said it will will be actively recruiting for any positions not being filled by current employees.
