As seen in "The Columbus Dispatch" Growing manufacturer building new headquarters Wednesday, November 15, 2000 Jim Weiker
A company that makes sheet-metal boxes seems an unlikely participant in the new tech economy, but don't tell Ometek Inc. The Gahanna firm is growing fast, driven mainly by technology customers. Ometek primarily makes precision sheet-metal components used to house electronic parts for companies such as Mettler Toledo, Applied Innovation and Cutler-Hammer. Ometek is building a 130,000- square-foot headquarters on Cross Point Drive in Gahanna, giving it twice the space of its current operations, spread over four nearby Gahanna sites. The project is expected to cost about $5 million and be finished in February. "This should allow us to double in sales in the next five years,'' said President Tom Mackessy. "We will be substantially more efficient and substantially more responsive. Now it seems like we spend more time trucking and moving components than actually making them.'' Mackessy said at least 35 jobs are likely to be created over the next three years as the result of the larger facility. Ometek employs 115 fulltime workers and posts annual revenues of about $20 million, he said. Both employment and revenues have been rising at 15 percent a year. Mackessy founded Ometek in 1977 as a maker of electronic components. The company gradually shifted to custom work for technology customers. Ometek, for example, makes the metal boxes that house components for Lucent Technologies, its largest customer.
