In a significant boost to Ohio’s industrial sector, two international companies, SencorpWhite and Salvagnini America, are expanding their operations in Hamilton, Ohio, contributing to the growth of the greater Cincinnati area’s industrial technology landscape.
SencorpWhite’s Strategic Move
SencorpWhite, a leader in automated storage solutions, has chosen Hamilton as the site for its new U.S. headquarters. Specializing in products such as vertical and horizontal carousels and proprietary software, the company aims to create 230 jobs, contributing an estimated $20 million to the payroll.
The decision to relocate to Hamilton was driven by its advantageous location, which facilitates reduced shipping times and costs, as well as improved supply chain efficiency. Ohio’s robust manufacturing and engineering talent, especially in automation and industrial technologies, further influenced the move. Transitioning its highly automated operations from Sweden to Ohio, SencorpWhite seeks to cut down lead times and ocean freight expenses while boosting global production for its Weland product line.
Corey Calla, President and CEO of SencorpWhite, remarked, “Moving to Hamilton marks an exciting new chapter for SencorpWhite. This investment positions us to accelerate innovation, strengthen our partnerships, and better support the industries that rely on our solutions. We’re building not just a new facility, but a foundation for the future. We are grateful for the local and state incentives that helped make this move possible and look forward to contributing to the continued growth and economic vitality of Hamilton and the state of Ohio.”
Salvagnini America’s Expansion
Salvagnini America, part of Italy’s Salvagnini Group, is expanding its Hamilton operations, adding 28 jobs and enhancing its payroll by $2.8 million. The company, renowned for its flexible machines and systems for sheet metal processing, has utilized Hamilton as its North American hub for nearly four decades.
Andrea Scarpari, CEO at Salvagnini America, stated, “Our continued investment in Hamilton reflects Salvagnini’s confidence in Ohio’s skilled workforce and strong educational and industrial ecosystem. These new jobs will help us meet growing demand for advanced automation solutions and reinforce our position as a leader in sheet metal processing: the ultimate goal is to keep improving our customer experience through excellent support.”
J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO of JobsOhio, noted the significance of advanced manufacturing in Ohio, highlighting that the investments by SencorpWhite and Salvagnini America will bring high-quality jobs across various fields like engineering and IT.
Kimm Lauterbach, President and CEO of REDI Cincinnati, celebrated the economic development, stating, “Together, these initiatives will bring 258 new jobs, with an average annual salary of nearly $90,000.
