Why Ohio?
The new Grove City facility will be retrofitted from Welspun’s existing distribution center, enabling a swift transition to manufacturing operations. In addition, Ohio’s manufacturing sector employs more than 600,000 skilled individuals, the third-largest manufacturing workforce in the United States. Ohio’s role as a leader in advanced manufacturing is more vital than ever as companies embrace new ways of making things with additive manufacturing, automation, advanced materials, and other technologies.
