RUPES USA, Inc, the U.S. subsidiary of the Italian company Rupes SpA founded in 1947, is opening a new facility in Solon to support growing demand for its professional polishing systems. The $15 million investment will create 53 new technical, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and customer service jobs. The new facility will strengthen production capacity, distribution and training, improving supply chain reliability and reducing lead times. The company chose Ohio because of the support of Team NEO and JobsOhio, the skilled workforce, and the competitiveness of the state's advanced manufacturing sector.
