Permatex, a leader in chemical technology for automotive maintenance and repair, has moved its business operations recently from Hartford, Conn., to its Solon, Ohio, facility where manufacturing and distribution centers are already in place. The new Permatex headquarters is located at: ITW Permatex, 6875 Parkland Blvd., Solon, OH, 44139.
“We are very excited to move our headquarters to Solon, Ohio, and have all of our business leadership in one centralized location,” said Lee Burtelson, VP and general manager. “The Solon facility is technologically advanced and will allow our business to develop and grow at an expedited rate. Having all of our personnel, from business operations, to R&D, to manufacturing, in the same location gives us the ability to make decisions quickly and bring more products to market.”
The facility currently consists of a 180,000-square-foot distribution center, and 170,000-square-foot facility that supports the manufacturing and business operations. The campus has room for Permatex to double the size of its headquarters to 700,000 square feet to accommodate new growth.
The facility is home to 19 hi-tech robots designed for the elimination of repetitive motion and to lighten the amount of heavy lifting done by Permatex employees.
Permatex currently operates in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the U.K., and exports products to more than 85 countries around the world. North American operations include Hartford, Conn., and a state-of-the-art manufacturing, distribution, and technical center located in Solon.
