$30 Million Global Headquarters Project Picks Solon

SOLON, OH — Swagelok's planned $30-50 million Global Headquarters campus project will call Solon home, the company announced this week. The manufacturer of fluid system solutions said it chose Solon after a competitive three-month bid process.

The new campus is expected to have more than 120,000-square feet of new space and state-of-the-art technology. The business will house 300 to 350 associates, with space for additional job growth. Construction should start in 2019, with a goal of completing the headquarters by the end of 2020.

“We are thrilled with the decision to remain in Solon and continue our partnership with the city that has been instrumental in our company’s growth,” said Arthur F. Anton, chairman and CEO, Swagelok Company. “We offer deep thanks to City of Solon officials, especially Mayor Edward Kraus, and the JobsOhio team for their support and commitment to Swagelok. Their offers enable us to leverage our manufacturing infrastructure and existing investments in the area, while creating a world-class, technologically advanced facility that will support our position as an industry leader and inspire the innovation, productivity, problem solving and collaboration essential for the next phase of our company’s success story.”

Both the city and JobsOhio have "partnered" with Swagelok to further enable the company's growth in Solon. City council approved an economic development package and pending further approvals from the state, the new headquarters will be built at 29500 Solon Road.

Swagelok has been headquartered in Solon since 1965. A JobsOhio spokesperson said that Swagelok will create 1,000 or more jobs in Northeast Ohio over the next several years.

“The City of Solon is excited to welcome the new Swagelok Global Headquarters and Innovation Center to our community. Swagelok has been an essential part of Solon’s success, and we are grateful for their continued partnership and commitment. Without Swagelok, there would be no Solon,” said Solon Mayor Ed Kraus. “Swagelok’s international prestige, public spirit, and dedication to its employees and customers are well known and are a tremendous asset to any community. It is an honor to be associated with such a company and we look forward to helping Swagelok move this project forward quickly and beginning the next
chapter of our partnership together.”
