Flottweg Separation Technology Inc., a producer of centrifuges and other liquid-solid separation equipment, recently celebrated the grand opening of its newly expanded warehouse facility in Boone County.
The expansion to the warehouse, located at 10700 Toebben Drive in Independence, came in response to rising demand.
Two Decades Of Business
The newly finished expansion is a $1.75 million investment and will support increased parts manufacturing.
Flottweg Separation Technology Inc. first opened in January 2008.
The new 15,000-square-foot warehouse expansion marks the company’s fourth since 2011.
“Flottweg has nearly two decades of established business in the United States,” said Dan Ellis, Flottweg’s American Business Unit President. “Having installed over 12,000 machines globally, we are sure that with this expansion we can continue to grow the U.S. market as we have thus far. Making sure that our customers are successful is our primary goal. We look forward to using this space to further ensure top quality is delivered to every facility.”
In May 2022, Flottweg leaders announced a reinvestment in the company’s Northern Kentucky operation, which assembles and repairs machinery for the company’s existing customer base.
The expansion includes the creation of 12 high-wage jobs.
“When we talk about companies continuing to invest and provide job opportunities for the communities they serve, Flottweg is a shining example,” said Governor Beshear. “Kentucky’s manufacturing sector is seeing incredible growth, and that’s because quality companies are continuing to choose the commonwealth to locate and expand their operations. I want to thank Flottweg’s leadership for their continued investment in the commonwealth and congratulate the company, as well as Boone County, on this exciting milestone and the opportunities it will bring.”
