Creation Technologies marks opening of $22M facility in Wayne County
Creation Technologies, formally IEC Electronics Corp., recently celebrated the opening of its new,150,000 square-foot manufacturing facility at the Silver Hill Technology Park in Newark.
The company has already created 179 jobs as part of a multi-year commitment to creating more than 360 new jobs.
“As an electronics manufacturing services provider for some of the most demanding applications, we’re proud to be able to offer our customers even greater capacity and capabilities at our Newark facility,” said Stephen DeFalco, Creation Technologies’ chairman and CEO. “This investment will enable us to expand with our customers and provide the highest level of service and support.”
Creation Technologies’ Wayne County facility services customers in the medical, tech industrial, and aerospace and defense sectors, providing electronic contract manufacturing services including printed circuit board assembly, cable and wire harness assembly and comprehensive prototyping services for lifesaving and mission-critical products.
The firm specializes in the custom manufacturing of complex, full-system assemblies, offering advanced engineering, test and development solutions for their customers.
Based in Boston, Mass., Creation Technologies has locations across North America and in China, employing more than 4,000 workers worldwide.
Empire State Development provided the project with a $2 million Upstate Revitalization Initiative Grant and has offered up to $3 million through the performance-based Excelsior Jobs Tax Credit Program in exchange for the company’s job creation commitments. New York State Electric and Gas Corp. offered up to $600,000 in assistance for the project. The Wayne County IDA also provided incentives for the project and Greater Rochester Enterprise was additionally instrumental in helping the company to remain in the Finger Lakes region.
The total cost for the relocation project from the company’s previous Newark location was roughly $22 million.
“Creation Technologies’ new facility is not just creating a major hub for jobs in New York’s Finger Lakes Region – it’s also creating yet another hub for innovation upstate,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a release.
