Fenner Dunlop to add 75 jobs in Ohio
Columbus, Ohio -- Fenner Dunlop North America, Inc. (Lucas County) is planning to construct a new manufacturing facility and acquire
machinery and equipment for the production of steel reinforced conveyor belting. The
$38 million project is expected to create 75 jobs in Ohio.
Fenner Dunlop manufactures a range of conveyor belts for several
industries and applications, such as aggregates, baggage handling,
forest products, grain, mining, power generation and the tunneling
industries. The company manufactures in excess of five million metres
of conveyor belting each year in 12 ISO-certified factories across five
continents. Products include rubber, PVC and steel cord conveyor belts
suitable for above and below ground applications. The company also
manufactures customised products to meet specific needs of its
customers.
To date, according to a press release from Ohio, the Ohio Department of Development and the State Controlling
Board have approved incentives that will enable Fenner Dunlop to move
forward with its project, including a $1 million Direct Loan to the
company and a $500,000 Ohio Small Cities Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) to Ottawa County to supply water and sewer lines to the
Erie Industrial Park, where Fenner is expanding.
