ACO Polymer Products, Inc. is
pleased to announce it has recently moved its Ohio operations facility from
Chardon to Mentor, Ohio. A grand opening celebration will take place Wednesday,
September 2 at the new facility at 9470 Pinecone Dr. in Mentor. Mrs. Johanna Ahlmann
and Mr. Hans-Julius Ahlmann, President of ACO Severin Ahlmann GmbH & Co. KG,
along with Iver Ahlmann, President of ACO Germany, will commemorate the
celebration with a ribbon cutting at 4 pm, followed by guest speakers, hors d’oeuvres,
cocktails and tours of the facility.
“This building
more than doubles the size of their current facility and provides opportunity
for additional future expansion,” Mentor Community Development Director Ronald
M. Traub said, in a report to Mentor City Council.
ACO Polymer Products, Inc.
was founded in 1978 and the facility in Chardon, Ohio was ACO’s first
manufacturing factory in the USA. Due to ACO’s growth and demand in recent
years, the Chardon site was no longer able to accommodate the increasing demand
necessary to support ACO’s business in the northeast. ACO found an ideal
location in Mentor, Ohio, 16 miles north of the Chardon site that met the needs
of expanding the operations. “This move has given our
northeast employees a new workplace with the conveniences and technology
similar to other ACO locations. The ACO team has worked hard to make this place
look nice and functional. It has allowed us to install the latest
production technology which will increase our capacity by 35% and help ACO to
strengthen its market leader position as well as provide customers with better
service and quality,” says Vaclav Tikalsky, President of ACO Polymer Products,
Inc.
Established in
1946, the ACO group has manufactured products for almost 70 years in the construction
industry. It operates on a global basis through its subsidiaries and
