- Austintown facility to serve as a
production, sales and customer service hub in the Americas for key
polymer processing components
As part of an initiative to optimize service to the growing
global polymer processing market, Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq:NDSN)
today announced it plans to combine its existing screw and barrel
operations in Youngstown, Ohio; New Castle, Pennsylvania; and
Pulaski, Virginia into a single expanded manufacturing center of
excellence in Austintown, Ohio.
“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 the existing Youngstown, New Castle
and Pulaski facilities will transfer to the Austintown facility.
Total employment in Austintown is expected to be approximately 260.
Nordson will be actively recruiting for any positions not being
filled by current employees.
