$2.5M ITT expansion will occur over next five years
White Plains, N.Y.-based ITT Corp. plans to build a $1 million test facility in Oconee as a part of tits $2.5 million investment to expand its existing operations in the next five years. The company operates in 35 countries and sells to customers in the energy, transportation and industrial markets across 125.
The facility will test natural gas vehicle components used in ITT’s Conoflow brand of products, which ITT consolidated to their Westminster location in Oconee in 2011. The existing facility has been in Oconee since 1979 when the former Compact Air Products relocated to the area.
“We have been a member of the Oconee County community for more than 25 years and are pleased to be able to grow our presence here,” said ITT Corp. Westminster Plant Manager Rob Hartman in a news release. “This facility expansion will give us enhanced capabilities to test natural gas vehicle components, which are an integral part of the strategic plan for the control technologies business.”
Headquartered in White Plains, N.Y., ITT employs 9,400 people globally and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ITT.
“Existing industry growth is a huge commitment in our community,” said Oconee County Council Chairman Wayne McCall. “We focus on ways to improve competitiveness by producing the best environment for business and assisting our existing businesses with their needs. ITT Corporation is just one example of these relationships.”
