KYOCERA SENCO Industrial Tools is expanding its 500,000 sq ft facility in Newtown, OH, with a 32,000 sq foot addition and an 8,000 sq ft renovation of existing space.

The expansion will add offices for sales, marketing and administrative staff, bringing all Cincinnati-based employees under one roof and making the Broadwell Road facility KYOCERA SENCO’s official worldwide headquarters.

“This is a great move for us to bring all our employees back together after working in separate buildings for decades,” stated CEO Cliff Mentrup. “We see a great benefit in putting our U.S. manufacturing and Cincinnati-based business operations under one roof.”

Scheduled for completion by the summer of 2022, the project includes an employee cafeteria serving hot meals and a training, product education and innovation center.

“Part of our management philosophy at KYOCERA SENCO is to provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees,” Mentrup added. “It is our hope that creating a campus-like environment that encourages our team to collaborate and innovate furthers that goal.”

Parent company Kyocera Corp. of Japan, which acquired SENCO in 2017, has invested millions of dollars in the Broadwell Road facility to support manufacturing equipment and R&D projects over the past three years.

Established in 1948 by Albert Juilfs, SENCO designs and manufactures fasteners and power fastening tools for residential, commercial, manufacturing and construction applications. SENCO’s manufacturing and marketing are concentrated in the U.S. and Europe, with products sold in more than 40 countries. Web: senco.com
