The facility is expected to open in 2018. The Regional Chamber assisted the company with selecting the property as well as the permitting process on local and state levels.
- Nordson Xaloy - With expansion plans looming, the company considered multiple sites to consolidate their three-state operations. The Regional Chamber worked with the company to find the right location which included an attractive incentive package. The company chose Austintown over other states, and is expected to be fully moved into the building and operational in 2017.
- Anderson DuBose - To meet customer demand, the McDonald and Chipotle products supplier is expanding its facility and adding 30 new jobs. Built in 2012, the warehouse and corporate headquarters complex serves a 4-state region.
