WARREN, Ohio - Glunt Industries of Warren is expanding operations to a fourth manufacturing facility, acquiring the assets of Timken Industrial Services, located in Niles.

The expansion adds 25-30 machinists, welders and production workers to Glunt's roster for a total of 200 employees, with more hires expected as production ramps up.

Glunt executives say the new location at 1819 N. Main Street can accommodate 70 or more employees and allows for more manufacturing capacity of two of their primary product lines, chocks and mill rolls.

“With this added turn-key capacity we will become more efficient and have the ability to take on more projects than ever before,” says Glunt President and CEO Dennis Glunt.

Glunt Industries Inc., headquartered at 319 N. River Road NW in Warren, Ohio since 1971, builds, reconditions, repairs and upgrades steel and aluminum rolling mill equipment, as well as seamless and welded pipe production equipment.
