Now, there are nearly 300 employees.Ībatements have helped with the growth. Each expansion has come with job growth, from the slightly more than 30 employees when the 50,000-square-foot facility was constructed to the 205 employees as of 2016. Then it constructed Riffle 2, another 100,000-square-foot facility, on the campus in 2013. It won approval for a 50,000-square-foot facility on Riffle's current campus in 2007 that was expanded in 2011 to 100,000 square feet. Riffle was founded in 1980 and had just three original employees, but the business grew significantly when it received its first assembly-line project with Kenworth Truck Co. I n 2016, Riffle Machine Works underwent a $2.9 million expansion that created a third 100,000-square-foot structure to be used for warehouse space in anticipation of its future growth. An additional $100,000 was used for fixtures and other items for the building. The company has been working with the Ohio Department of Transportation on the road work plans and expects them to be finalized in early December. Local school districts have been notified of potential road work and the Green Township trustees have issued a letter of support for the project, according to the commissioners. This often causes traffic delays on Ohio 159, especially during shift changes. The proposed improvements will allow delivery trucks to enter a turn lane before entering the Riffle property, freeing travel on the main roadway, according to Eallonardo. To accommodate the request, the company has entered into a new expansion project.Ĭurrently, delivery trucks do not have a different access road and must use the same driveways used by employees. Riffle Machine was asked to assume more staging and pre-assembly work for the Class 8 heavy-duty truck manufacturer, according to Eallonardo. MSS relationships occur when a manufacturer works with a third party that has specialized experience to support specific parts in the production process. Riffle Machine is one of four manufacturing support services (MSS) companies in the local Kenworth supply chain. "We are so happy to see them continue to grow," Neal said.
Commissioners Dwight Garrett, Doug Corcoran and Steve Neal showed their support by approving an Enterprise Zone Tax Abatement of 55% for a period of 10 years. Tammy Eallonardo, economic development director with Greater Chillicothe & Ross County Development, joined two Riffle officials Monday at a Ross County Commissioners meeting to discuss the latest project.
