CLAY — O’Brien & Gere’s manufacturing operation has a new home at a 160,000-square-foot building in Clay.
The engineering firm relocated its manufacturing business to the new site, at 7600 Morgan Road, from Fayetteville late last year. The company produces industrial furnaces and other heat treating systems used in industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, energy, and health care.
“We see this as one of the fastest growing parts of our business,” O’Brien & Gere CEO James Fox says. “It’s a differentiator for us.”
The new facility provides more flexibility than the Fayetteville location and will allow the manufacturing unit to handle expected growth. O’Brien & Gere spent about $3 million upgrading the space.
Manufacturing accounts for about 10 percent of O’Brien & Gere’s overall revenue and manufacturing sales increased 40 percent last year. Sales are expected to rise another 50 percent in 2012.
The Liverpool site has 80 employees. O’Brien & Gere has another 320 workers at its headquarters in downtown Syracuse and 850 employees at 30 offices nationwide.
