Construction to start on $223M Springfield plant, hiring 400
February 21, 2018
Silfex, a company that has pledged to invest $223 million to expand to Springfield, is ramping up hiring and will soon begin construction.
The company, based in Eaton, has pledged to create about 400 jobs in Springfield over the next several years. On Tuesday, company officials hosted a project preview and open house at their new property on Titus Road.
The site is now a vacant 350,000-square-foot warehouse near the PrimeOhio Industrial Park that previously housed the former Thirty-One Gifts plant. But by January, Silfex will have converted it into a high-tech manufacturing plant that makes silicon products for a variety of markets.
