OH: Legacy Measurement Solutions Opens New Brookfield Township Facility

As part of a series of manufacturing expansions, Legacy Measurement Solutions, Inc. (formerly J-W Measurement Company) announced its newest facility located in Brookfield Township in the state of Ohio which encompasses approximately 73,000 square feet.

Gary Crisp, vice president-operations-Northeast of Legacy Measurement Solutions stated, "We are grateful for the state of Ohio and the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber of Commerce who were instrumental in bringing Legacy Measurement Solutions to this area. Our team had diligently considered surrounding states looking for the most strategic position and area to locate, and we are excited about the Brookfield location. We are pleased to be sharing in this great opportunity with the Northeast and Ohio specifically which is a strong growth market for us. Danny Hendrix, the president and CEO of Legacy Measurement Solutions, discussed our plans with Ohio Governor John Kasich to ensure a working commitment to Ohio business leaders and to benefit the local and regional economy. As a result of that discussion, we were convinced Ohio was the appropriate venue for our new facility."

Legacy Measurement Solutions will continue to assist its current and potential new customer base in meeting their needs in both the Marcellus and Utica Shale oil and gas plays. Regional locations allow the company to serve its intended market while working with the local communities to provide employment opportunities, thus contributing to the tax base.

This is just one more example of the significant manufacturing growth we're experiencing throughout the region. It's an exciting development for Trumbull County."
