United Industries, Inc., a world leader in precision engineered stainless steel tubing, has announced earlier this week the opening of its newest facility in Tilbury.
The first of its kind in Canada, work on this state-of-the-art production environment has begun and is slated to take over a currently unoccupied manufacturing space beginning in September.
United Industries, Inc. is the only North American manufacturer of high-purity stainless steel tubing in the 1-inch to 8-inch diameter.
Manufacturing will begin immediately once the factory installation is complete.
The firm has also made significant investments in new machine technology.
The tubing to be produced is best-in-class laser-welded and will meet the rigorous demands of the most stringent production environments. Some applications are extremely sensitive, such as in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries and require the highest level of purity.
“We are extremely pleased to be joining the Chatham-Kent business community and very appreciative of all the support we have received from Mayor Canniff and the entire region,” said Greg Sturicz, president of United Industries, Inc., “We chose the Chatham-Kent area for this key expansion due to its outstanding local workforce along with your civic leader’s willingness to create a strong business partnership.”
The hiring process will begin as a phased approach, but once the factory is fully operational, it will generate as many as 100 local jobs.
“We are very excited that United Industries, Inc. has chosen Chatham-Kent as the location of this significant expansion and investment. The product and the company’s reputation as an employer are of the highest calibre” said mayor Darrin Canniff. “CK is in an excellent place to facilitate immediate success, and we’re very well positioned to support growth going forward.”
United Industries, Inc. is headquartered in Beloit, Wisconsin. To learn more, visit the United Industries website.
