Two global manufacturers expand in Hamilton, Ohio, bringing 258 new jobs
HAMILTON, Ohio – The City of Hamilton and REDI Cincinnati today announce major investments from two global advanced manufacturing companies, SencorpWhite and Salvagnini America, reinforcing Hamilton’s position as a growing hub for innovative industrial technology.
SencorpWhite Establishes U.S. headquarters in Hamilton
SencorpWhite, a leading provider of end-to-end automated storage solutions for the medical, retail and manufacturing industries, has selected Hamilton as its new U.S. headquarters. The company manufactures vertical carousels, horizontal carousels, vertical lift modules and proprietary software used by customers around the world. The project will create 230 new jobs and generate $20 million in new payroll.
SencorpWhite cited Hamilton’s central location as a key driver in its site selection. Being closer to major U.S. markets reduces shipping times and transportation costs while improving supply chain responsiveness. The company also pointed to Ohio’s strong manufacturing base and deep engineering talent, particularly in automation, machinery and industrial technologies.
In addition, the company is transferring highly automated manufacturing operations from Sweden to Ohio. This strategic shift will reduce lead times and ocean freight costs and increase global production capacity for its Weland product line. Relocating to Ohio provides access to a deeper talent pool and strengthens SencorpWhite’s ability to accelerate research and development, supporting new product introductions and continued innovation.
Salvagnini America Expands North American Hub in Hamilton
Salvagnini America, a division of Italy-based Salvagnini Group, will grow its presence in Hamilton with the addition of 28 new jobs and $2.8 million in new payroll while retaining 118 existing positions, including 50 positions across the country.
Headquartered in Sarego, Italy, Salvagnini designs, builds, sells and services flexible machines and systems for sheet metal processing. For almost 40 years, the Hamilton facility has served as the company’s North American hub.
The expansion allows the company to enhance the customer experience center and improve the current offices, delivering a bigger and more functional space for the employees.
“Moving to Hamilton marks an exciting new chapter for SencorpWhite. This investment positions us to accelerate innovation, strengthen our partnerships, and better support the industries that rely on our solutions,” said Corey Calla, president and CEO of SencocorpWhite. “We’re building not just a new facility, but a foundation for the future. We are grateful for the local and state incentives that helped make this move possible and look forward to contributing to the continued growth and economic vitality of Hamilton and the state of Ohio.”
“Our continued investment in Hamilton reflects Salvagnini’s confidence in Ohio’s skilled workforce and strong educational and industrial ecosystem,” said Andrea Scarpari, CEO at Salvagnini America. “These new jobs will help us meet growing demand for advanced automation solutions and reinforce our position as a leader in sheet metal processing: the ultimate goal is to keep improving our customer experience through excellent support.”
“The city welcomes SencorpWhite to the Hamilton business community. The SencorpWhite design and manufacturing high-paying jobs continue Hamilton’s tradition of being a city that makes things,” said the Mayor of Hamilton, Pat Moeller. “Congratulations to Salvagnini America for retaining jobs and creating new jobs by means of expansion, which is great for our city and a complement to our city.”
“Advanced manufacturing is a key industry in Ohio that is backed by a robust workforce,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “SencorpWhite and Salvagnini America’s decision to invest in southwest Ohio will bring high-quality jobs to Hamilton with roles spanning engineering, assembly, IT and more.”
“The REDI Cincinnati team is proud to contribute to Hamilton’s continued rise by partnering to announce two economic development wins: an Italian-based company with a 40-year presence in Hamilton expanding its operations and a new employer investing in our region. Together, these initiatives will bring 258 new jobs, with an average annual salary of nearly $90,000,” said Kimm Lauterbach, president and CEO of REDI Cincinnati. “The combination of continued foreign direct investment and new business creates a balanced momentum that strengthens Hamilton’s diverse manufacturing base, lifting the entire community.”
