Industrial Coatings Maker to Consolidate British Operations

Deloro Stellite, maker of wear-resistant coatings, will consolidate its UK-based manufacturing to Goshen, Indiana, creating up to 46 new jobs by 2013. The company, which manufactures industrial coatings and specialty metal castings, will invest $5 million to lease and equip additional manufacturing space at its Eisenhower Drive location in Goshen. The manufacturer will add a production line for rod and wire products which it is transferring from a facility in England. The company, which currently employs nearly 60 associates at its Goshen facility, plans to begin hiring additional production and supervisory workers immediately as the new rod and wire production lines are phased in at the plant. Globally headquartered in London, Deloro Stellite manufactures coating powders, rod and wire from 13 facilities in nine countries throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The company's customers include General Electric, Rolls Royce and Siemens.
