Tessenderlo Kerley Inc., a chemical solutions producer, has announced plans to construct a new plant in northwest Ohio that will be directly served by the Napoleon, Defiance and Western Railway (NDW).
The facility will be located in Defiance, Ohio, where it can better serve the eastern Great Lakes region, Tessenderlo Kerley officials said in a press release.
The new plant involves a multimillion dollar investment that will create at least 17 new jobs, company officials said. They anticipate the plant will open in first-quarter 2024.
Pioneer Lines, the parent of NDW, has worked with local, state and federal partners to invest $13 million to rehabilitate the line.
"We made these investments with growth in mind and knowing that the NDW is strategically located to serve and connect the region’s growing economy to domestic and global markets. We are delighted Tessenderlo Kerley recognized this as well," said Alex Yeros, president and CEO of Pioneer Lines.
The facility will produce liquid sulfur-based crop nutrition brands Thio-Sul®, KTS® and K-Row 23®, as well as sulfite chemistries for industrial markets.
