Why Ohio?

DRI will expand their presence in Northeast Ohio by opening a new manufacturing facility in Solon.

At $104.6 billion, Ohio’s manufacturing industry is one of the largest in the state. Ohio’s manufacturing workforce is the third largest in the country and the state has the lowest taxes in the Midwest for capital-intensive manufacturing. According to Business Facilities, Ohio is a top 10 state in manufacturing employment and manufacturing output percentage.

In addition to the new hires, the company will invest over $12-million in building improvements, machinery and equipment.
