Investing in North American Manufacturing
The new 244,000-square-foot facility represents a $178 million investment in Portage County and will create approximately 68 new jobs for the region in the first two years. The Mantua location will produce the company's innovative press technology systems and serve as a key distribution hub and training center for customers across the eastern United States and Canada.

Economic Impact and Community Partnership
The facility is expected to have a substantial economic impact on the local community, with projections indicating a $178 million contribution to the regional economy. Viega worked closely with local officials and economic development organizations throughout the planning and construction process and will continue to do so following the opening of the Mantua facility.

Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Technology
"The Mantua facility represents Viega's continued investment in North American manufacturing and our dedication to building stronger connections with both our workforce and our customers," said Marki Huston, CEO of Viega North America. "By integrating state-of-the-art production with hands-on training, we strive to not only advance innovation but also to provide our employees with meaningful opportunities to shape the future of the industry. This facility also allows our customers to engage with crucial industry education and witness production in real time, demonstrating firsthand our commitment to quality and the innovative solutions that will drive their businesses forward."

Huston emphasized that sustainability permeates every layer of the project, "The future of our environment and industry hinges on the commitment that we make today in sustainable manufacturing. This facility is a carbon-neutral ecosystem engineered from the ground up, targeting LEED Gold certification. We view both sustainability and the demands of large-scale manufacturing as equal and complementary priorities, and this largely shapes our long-term vision."

The Mantua facility is highlighted by the following:
• Advanced automation and robotics
• Fully electrified facility
• Energy-efficient design, targeting LEED-Gold certification
• State-of-the-art quality control systems
• 244,000-square-foot plant and robust training center for contractors and distributors

Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
