Seco Machine Announces Plans for New Plant

Driven by higher customer demand and expectations of further growth, Seco Machine (North Canton, OH), a machine shop that provides contract machining services, including turning and milling of steel and iron castings and forgings, and supplies custom-molded urethane products, including cast urethanes and molded urethane parts, recently finalized plans to move to a new, larger plant by the end of the year. The new $8 million plant in Green, which is closer to the Akron-Canton airport, will encompass 120,000 sq ft of manufacturing, distribution and office space, about 60 percent more than the 75,000 sq ft the company now uses now in North Canton. Work to clear the site for construction is in progress.

“This is a very exciting time for us and our employees,” said Tom Seccombe, the general manager at Seco. “With improvements in the economy, our customers are doing well, and we have identified many opportunities to grow our business. A new facility will help us capitalize on these opportunities, and we are very excited about building it in northeastern Ohio.” The company is enjoying growth in both of their primary lines of business: the metal machining and contract manufacturing work they have done since their establishment in 1985, and the cast urethane production they began in 2010. Both segments have benefited from the recent resurgence in the rail industry and by expansion into new markets, including cars and trucks, industrial equipment, public services and others.

The general contractor for the new plant is Campbell Construction Co. (Wooster, OH).
