VEGA Americas Announces Expansion Plan – Doubling Production at its Mason, Ohio, Headquarters
CINCINNATI – February 13, 2024 – VEGA Americas, a global leader in level and pressure measurement technology for the processing industry, announced today that it is expanding its manufacturing operation in the City of Mason with a 120,000-square-foot addition to its existing 120,000-square-foot advanced production facility at its North American headquarters. The expansion, slated to break ground late in the first quarter and complete in the third quarter of 2025, will initially create 31 new full-time jobs with additional positions to follow as production capabilities are increased.
VEGA Americas is receiving support from JobsOhio, REDI Cincinnati and the City of Mason for the project.
“Eliminating overseas shipping of components reduces our carbon footprint and puts us in a good position to achieve our corporate objective of becoming carbon neutral by 2033, as sustainability is a core operational value for VEGA,” said John Groom, CEO of VEGA Americas. “It is important for us to continue to invest in our production capabilities to bolster our U.S. supply chain. We’ve planned our campus together with the City of Mason to position VEGA for this type of strategically driven growth at an accelerated pace.”
