Department of Development Approves Aid for Custom Machinery to Expand Local Manufacturer’s Coating Capability
Summary
The Controlling Board approved a request to purchase two custom-built machines for a private business’s HVOF thermal spray coating division, expanding part size capacity from 20-inch diameter/10-foot length to 24-inch diameter/20-foot length, department liaison said.
The Ohio Controlling Board approved a Department of Development request on May 5 to finance two custom-built machines for a private manufacturer’s thermal spray coating division.
Riley Eberhardt, legislative liaison for the Department of Development, said the machines—described as a custom automated turning center and torch traverse machine—will expand the company’s high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating capability from parts up to 20 inches in diameter and 10 feet long to 24 inches in diameter and 20 feet long. Senator Joe Chavez asked whether the machines are specific to one business and whether commercially available options exist; Eberhardt confirmed the machines are custom-built for the company.
The board approved item 37 with no recorded objections. The transcript does not show any additional procurement details or award amounts in the board discussion.
