Webco Inc. announced Monday its plan to relocate to the site of the former ITT/Pure-Flo Precision facility, 3300 E. Pythian, which closed at the end of last year, citing increased competition in the biopharmaceutical market.
The relocation will allow Webco to consolidate its current four-building operation into one facility at the 15-acre site. The building has 100,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity – 20,000 square feet larger than Webco’s facility at 711 N. Prince Lane.
The relocation also is expected to provide for future expansion as the business continues to grow.
General Manager Ron Gannon could not be reached for comment, and an estimated relocation cost was not released.
Webco officials hope to begin the relocation April 1 and finish by the end of May.
Webco, a division of CES Group Inc., is a provider of custom air-handling equipment for industrial, pharmaceutical, food, health care, education, automotive, government and commercial facilities. The company has operated in Springfield since 1977 and employs about 130.
