The firm designs automated systems that handle materials for warehouses and distribution centers, according to a news release from the office of Binghamton Mayor Richard David. The company also designs automated packaging and processing lines for food and beverage products.
ScottTech started in 1996, and currently employs 33 people, according to the release. It recently hired people for three new engineering positions, with salaries ranging from $50,000 to 75,000, as well as new assembly and technical positions as part of the company’s expansion into Binghamton, the release stated.
ScottTech purchased the building for $225,000 from Binghamton Storage, LLC, in June, 2014, according to Broome County property records. The company bought it through an entity called JMT Logistics Properties, LLC.
ScottTech spent more than $400,000 on rehabbing the building and purchasing new equipment, according to the release. The building is the former Hannsman’s Mills factory, and had been vacant since 2006.
“ScottTech has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring new life to a vacant building and support exactly the type of well-paying, professional jobs we’re looking to create in Binghamton,” Mayor David said in the release. “ScottTech’s spirit for entrepreneurship and innovation is remarkable. We officially welcome them into the growing Binghamton business community.”
The company chose the location in Binghamton because of its proximity to downtown hotels and restaurants, Mike Yezzi, ScottTech’s managing partner and vice president of business development, told the mayor’s office.
The company has a software development facility in the Onondaga County town of Salina, located at 2500 Brewerton Drive, and a service center in the Rochester area. Other ScottTech service centers are situated in New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas, according to the company’s website.
