GREENVILLE- FRAMGroup, the new name for the FRAM manufacturing site formerly owned by Honeywell until earlier this year, is expanding its operations just two months after new ownership announced that the Greenville location would remain in production.
The company has added approximately 70 positions to the site in recent months as it prepares to add a new line of production, formerly housed at another FRAMGroup location. It's the first significant reversal in years of the previously downward employment trend at the site over recent decades.
"It's great to see and we have the new owners and the facility's management team to thank for this," said Economic Development Director Marc Saluk. "The expansion is great and, more importantly, it's part of an overall trend as a lot of our larger manufacturers have added positions in 2011."
As announced in August, FRAMGroup recommitted to the Darke County community with the new ownership's decision to maintain operations in Greenville. The decision assured the continuation of a long tradition as FRAM oil filters have been manufactured at the site for over 60 years.
According to Saluk, the Greenville administration, local legislators, the State of Ohio, and many others all played a key role in assisting the new owners' project. The increase brings the total number of manufacturing positions created in Darke County this year by all employers to almost 300.
"That's just the ones that county development is aware of," added Saluk. "There may well be more. Our companies have clearly planned well throughout the recent challenging years."
