JOBS OHIO - REDI CINCINNATI - 2024-1

 

(West Chester, Ohio)Trew, LLC has announced another major expansion, the third in five years, in Southwest Ohio. The automated materials handling solutions provider recently entered a long-term lease for 263,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space, bringing its total to nearly 500,000 square feet in Southwest Ohio. This additional space will further accelerate Trew’s growth while creating an additional 190 full-time positions in the region. As part of this expansion, Trew was approved for an extension of a previously awarded Job Creation Tax Credit from the Ohio Department of Development that created 100 full-time positions. JobsOhio, which worked alongside REDI Cincinnati on the expansion, also plans to provide assistance for the project and will provide details after a final agreement is executed.

 

Trew delivers intelligent automated material handling solutions for retail, e-commerce, distribution, and manufacturing clients enabling operations to fulfill orders efficiently and accurately. The incentive package allows Trew to accelerate investments in developing automation technologies, warehouse execution software, and creating world-class manufacturing, innovation, and client support facilities in the region.

Trew will move its headquarters and Ohio-based manufacturing into the 10045 International Blvd, West Chester, Ohio facility, while their existing Fairfield, Ohio facility a short distance away will become their Innovation and Support Center allowing for the continued development and expansion of their TEC showplace. Trew will also continue to operate its Milwaukee-based manufacturing facility.

“The material handling automation market and our clients’ fulfillment and distribution capabilities continue to rapidly transform,” shared Alfred Rebello, Trew Chief Executive Officer. "The expansion to our campus will continue to fuel our growth. This region has a strong tradition of high-quality material handling labor and the manufacturing infrastructure that our clients and partners can trust in that Trew will continue deliver innovative solutions on-time.”

Trew worked with several state and local partners, including JobsOhio, the Ohio Department of Development, and REDI Cincinnati, to obtain support for assistance with the growth and job-creating project. Trew chose Ohio for its expansion and investments due to the availability of engineering talent, speed at which expanded manufacturing infrastructure can be brought online, accessibility to multiple customers who have retail and e-commerce distribution centers, and the willingness of organizations to help businesses access resources to enable growth. 

“Innovative companies like Trew are looking to Ohio when developing the latest high-speed solutions as the material handling industry continues to evolve,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “Southwest Ohio has the engineering talent to grow Trew’s advanced sortation and supporting software capability as well as easy access to retail and e-commerce distribution centers to meet rising demand.”

“Trew creating a headquarters in Cincinnati and announcing a third expansion in less than five years showcases the innovation and extensive support for businesses to thrive and grow in our region,” said Kimm Lauterbach, REDI Cincinnati president and CEO. “Our region’s advanced manufacturing sector continues to be bolstered by commitments like Trew’s, reaching $16.4 billion in gross regional product and nearly 143,000 workers.”
