New advanced energy solutions test center opens in Henrietta
Empire State Development and other officials recently marked the grand opening of a new advanced energy storage solutions development, prototyping and test center in Henrietta.
The Raymond Corp. invested in the research and development center, located at 1565 Jefferson Road, and will collaborate with Rochester area energy storage resources to further support advanced energy solutions technology efforts for both the Raymond and Toyota material handling brands, including lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells.
As a result, Raymond, which currently has over 2,500 workers statewide, committed to creating up to 40 new jobs onsite.
In April, Raymond and Toyota Material Handling, Inc. announced they would functionally integrate under the name Toyota Material Handling North America (TMHNA) for the benefit of their collective customers.
Raymond is committed to further growing operations in the Finger Lakes region, announcing this week that it will lease space at a facility on Carriage Street in Honeoye Falls in Monroe County for the purpose of testing and validating fuel cell systems for its products.
ESD is assisting the latest project with up to $400,000 through the performance-based Excelsior Jobs Tax Credit Program for the promised creation of up to 20 new jobs. The total project cost has been placed at almost $1.9 million.
Now underway, the company expects to be operational at the facility sometime in late 2027.
“We are proud to expand our footprint in Monroe County as we continue to invest in the Finger Lakes region,” said Michael Field, TMHNA’s chief operations officer. “This new Honeoye Falls site reflects our shared commitment to creating high-quality jobs and advancing next-generation energy technologies.”
Monroe County and Greater Rochester Enterprise are also assisting with the projects.
