New Developments
Performance Food Group recently announced plans to expand its Performance Foodservice Milton's food distribution facility in Oakwood, GA. The expansion project will include construction of a new 174,000-square foot building to be built on 43 acres of land adjacent to the current facility located at 3501 Old Oakwood Road. The new building will feature a freezer, meat cutting operation, maintenance areas and space for fleet operations. The project is scheduled for completion in 2016. The company distributes fresh meats and produce, dry groceries, frozen and refrigerated products, and restaurant supplies. Customers include local and multichain restaurants, country clubs, daycare centers, hospitals, schools, nursing homes and correctional facilities primarily located in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Kodak will invest $28 million to expand its production facility in Columbus and create 240 jobs. Rochester, N.Y.-based Eastman Kodak Co. recently announced that it will manufacture the popular Kodak Sonora Process Free Plate in the U.S. for the first time and that the Columbus facility will serve as the sole manufacturer of all the plates sold in the Americas. The plant in east Columbus is located inside Corporate Ridge Business Park. Kodak has said demand for its Sonora plates have risen amid the trend toward environmentally friendly printing and printers using Sonora plates do not require water, chemicals and the energy typically needed to process them. They also do the job without losing the quality that traditional printing plates offer. The Columbus plant is also certified in manufacturing lithographic printing plates from sheet aluminum, a process that includes electrochemical etching, surface treatment and solvent-based coating processes. Printers and publishers are among the customers who use the plates.
Primetals Technologies, a global leader in engineering, plant-building, and lifecycle partnership for the metals industry, is investing
more than $2 million over the next five years and is relocating 140 current staff to its new headquarters in Alpharetta. Formed in 2015 through a joint venture of Siemens and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Primetals Technologies offers a complete technology, product, and service portfolio that includes integrated electrics, automation and environmental solutions for the metals industry.
