A Mason-based company that designs and develops conveyor systems and other material handing solutions is doubling the size of its headquarters, creating 200 new jobs.
Founded by CEO Chris Cole and President and COO in 2001,
Intelligrated is one of the North America's leading automated material handling solutions providers.
This fast-growing company has more than 2,000 employees worldwide, including 200 at its corporate HQ in Mason. The company has developed and designed a wide variety of sophisticated automated systems that sort, move, distribute and control packaging and materials. The company's systems are used in the retail, postal, beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceutical and other industries.
Recently, Intelligrated announced it would create 200 new in the next three years and expand its operations in Mason. These tech-based jobs, which include engineering and research and development, will boost the company's plans for continued innovation and growth in the industry.
Intelligrated will also build a new 60,000-90,000-square-foot facility in Mason to support its growth. This new office will house R&D, engineering, sales, general, and administration staff.
Aiding this expansion is an incentive package of around $15 million dollars from the State of Ohio and the City of Mason. Though awaiting final approval, the incentives are likely to include an extension of Intelligrated's existing Job Creation Tax Credit, state and local loans, property tax abatement and a State of Ohio Grant.
“We aim to be the most technologically-advanced player in the material handling industry. To achieve this, we need an operation that houses the best mechanical, software and systems talent in the world. These incentives will directly support these efforts, help us create and keep more high-quality technical jobs in Ohio, and advance Mason as a strategic hub of our nation’s logistics network,” Cole said in an expansion announcement.
Intelligrated has 18 other locations, including key engineering centers in California, Maryland and Missouri, four manufacturing plants located in Ohio, Missouri and Kentucky and regional operations located in Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, California, as well as in Ontario and Quebec, Canada, Mexico City, Mexico and Brazil.
