Cryomech settles into newly built DeWitt building

DeWITT, N.Y. — Following a construction project that lasted just over a year, Cryomech says it has relocated to its new building at 6682 Moore Road in the town of DeWitt.

It previously operated in a nearby location at 113 Falso Drive in DeWitt.

Cryomech’s new 76,000-square-foot facility houses all of the company’s manufacturing and machinery. Crews finished work on the close to $17 million project in slightly more than a year. 

The firm held its initial groundbreaking ceremony at the 14-acre construction site in early October 2019.

Empire State Development (ESD) assisted the expansion with a $600,000 capital grant, and up to $600,000 through the Excelsior Jobs program in exchange for job-creation commitments. 

Cryomech currently employs 125 people and has plans for additional hiring, the company tells CNYBJ in an email. 

VIP Structures of Syracuse handled the construction and design work on the project. The firm also coordinated electrical work from DEMCO of DeWitt and plumbing by Woodcock and Armani, also of DeWitt. 

JPW Riggers provided and installed all the steel for the building and Sedgwick Business Interiors furnished the office space. 

Koffee King Vending & Food Services handled construction on the employee vending area, Cryomech said.

“After many years of rapid growth, this new facility offers the opportunity for Cryomech’s outside to match the energy inside,” Tabitha Sebastino, business development manager at Cryomech, said. “The expansion will allow us to have stronger collaboration within our internal teams. It also gives us the opportunity to develop better information and knowledge sharing, which is at the foundation of what makes Cryomech great.” 

Cryomech said it believes it now has the space and infrastructure to “plan for the future and strategically grow with customers at the pace they demand.”

 Founded in 1963, Cryomech develops and manufactures high-performance cryogenic equipment, including cryocoolers and laboratory-scale helium management systems. The company develops products that cater to the specific needs of researchers and industries in a wide array of fields, including medical, agricultural, energy, and aerospace. Half of its revenue is generated from highly custom-designed products, ESD said.
