FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wessels Company Breaks Ground on New Factory
TIFFIN, OH. – Wessels Company is pleased to announce the construction of a new factory at its Tiffin location, which will be leased by the parent company National Machinery Group Global LLC to Wessels East for a major expansion of its pressure vessel manufacturing operations. The new facility will join the existing National Machinery space at the corner of Greenfield and Holmes streets in Tiffin, Ohio. Projection date for completion of the building and beginning manufacturing is November 2025.
The 57,000+ sq ft facility will be situated in the southeast corner of National’s Greenfield Street campus. An attached building on the east side of the factory will provide office space and restroom facilities. Construction of the manufacturing facility is scheduled to be completed by Q4 of 2025. Wessels intends to hire a dozen new employees within the first few months of opening the new facility and nearly 30 more next year as a second shift is added in the following year.
Wessels’s core products are hydronic HVAC pressure vessels of various sizes built in accordance with ASME standards. The headquarters and main plant are in Greenwood, IN, just south of Indianapolis. The original Wessels East facility launched in Bay 1 of National Machinery’s factory in 2007, expanding production capacity for oversized tanks beyond the capabilities of the Greenwood plant. These larger tanks are typically 48” to 72” in diameter, but the new facility will allow for even larger specifications. Wessels management sees tremendous opportunity to capture more business in this large tank market, in part propelled by the boom in the construction of data centers, which must be kept cool with specialty equipment like Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tanks.

Wessels Company Officially Launches Virtual Warehouse
GREENWOOD, Indiana (January 15, 2014) – “This is absolutely amazing! Totally unbelievable! You’ve got to try this!” Anywhere the new Oculus Rift virtual reality headset makes an appearance, amazed reactions attract a small crowd, which eventually becomes a waiting line to try out virtual reality for the first time.
While virtual reality takes the gaming industry by storm, Wessels Company saw an opportunity to leverage this exciting new technology outside of the gaming world to showcase several of their industrial products at this year’s AHR Expo in January.
Visitors to the Virtual Warehouse are greeted by an animated robotic welder spraying sparks, surrounded by several featured products that spring to life as they approach, revealing inner components and showing how each product works.
“It gives us a really unique and memorable way of engaging with customers. They’re able to see some of the larger products we could never realistically transport to a trade show. It’s just a very fun and immersive way to experience and learn more about our products.” said Jim Fuller, at Wessels Company.
Check back to our website at wesselscompany.com in January for the full reveal.
