DRYDEN — Ongweoweh Corp., a growing pallet and packaging management company, recently relocated its headquarters to a larger facility at 5 Barr Road in the town of Dryden from its previous smaller home on Warren Road in Lansing.
Ongweoweh bought the three-story, 49,673-square-foot manufacturing/office facility, located on nearly 5 acres, on Barr Road for $3.5 million. Michael Finn, managing partner of CBRE/Syracuse, and Bill Anninos, senior broker at CBRE/Syracuse, exclusively brokered the sale, according to a news release from the real-estate firm. Ongweoweh was represented by Robert R. Colbert, Jr. in the acquisition.
The building previously served as a location for Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed, which designs and manufactures check-weighing systems, material-handling equipment, and robotic case-packing machines for the packaging industry. That company closed the Barr Road facility on July 1 and has consolidated its Ithaca operations at its newly built facility in Florida, per the release.
Ongweoweh says it is a Native American–owned company providing pallet and packaging procurement, recycling services, and supply chain optimization programs. It services a variety of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, grains, chemicals, automotive components, oil, technology, corrugate, and retail.
Frank Bonamie, an enrolled member of the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York, founded Ongweoweh in 1998. Justin Bennett, also a Cayuga Native American, is the company president.
Ongweoweh also has locations in Georgia (2), Tennessee, Virginia, Missouri, Mexico, and Canada, per its website.
