Our Perspective
Spotlight: NIBCO and Sumitomo Drive Technologies - Continued Growth
After 14 years in economic development, existing business expansions are still exciting to me. These announcements provide the backbone of our economy and show a commitment to growth in Augusta County and a genuine interest in the well-being of our citizens.
Two great expansions have blessed Augusta County this month - NIBCO and Sumitomo Drive Technologies combined have added 30 new jobs to our economy and given 151 employees opportunities for retraining and upskilling. Click the company names below for more details regarding their respective expansions.
NIBCO - $14M investment; 30 new jobs; 117 retrained employees
Both companies are providing significant investments for growth. NIBCO, manufacturer of wrot copper fittings, will invest in infrastructure as well as new equipment. Sumitomo Drive Technologies, recently opening its new location within Mill Place Commerce Park, is purchasing new equipment for its Gearbox Center of Excellence.
Watching our economy grow never gets old, and I look forward to the future here in Augusta County.
