WALWORTH — McAlpin Industries, a family-owned metal-working company, in mid-December formally opened a new manufacturing plant in the town of Walworth in Wayne County.
The new, 120,000-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing facility in Walworth will allow the company to create at least 24 new full-time jobs, according to a news release from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office. New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul attended a ribbon-cutting event at the new facility on Dec. 16.
McAlpin Industries will also continue its operations in Rochester, where it has been headquartered for more than 50 years and employs 148 workers.
The Wayne County project received economic support and assistance from local and state-government agencies. Empire State Development will provide McAlpin Industries up to $400,000 in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits in return for job-creation commitments. The investment from McAlpin Industries totals $5.85 million, the governor’s office said.
“All of us at McAlpin Industries are thrilled that we are expanding our business into Wayne County. This new building provides us with the opportunity to grow a product line through complete integration of robotic welding, powder coating, and assembly,” Ken McAlpin, company president and CEO, said.
McAlpin Industries says it is an international, precision metal-working company that provides a variety of services to the telecommunications, computer, business machine, office equipment, medical, transportation, voting equipment, electronic, warehouse management, and automotive sectors.
The new plant will be home to metal stamping, robotic welding, and powder coating operations as the company expands its assembly and warehousing functions. It is located at 856 State Route 441 in Walworth.
