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.
