UTICA, N.Y. — ECR International, Inc. recently announced that it will cease manufacturing at its Utica plant early next year, relocating those operations to its facility in Dunkirk in Western New York.
The Utica plant, located at 2201 Dwyer Avenue, will cease manufacturing on Jan. 4, 2024, and be listed for sale, according to an Oct. 6 news release on its website. The company manufactures and markets HVAC equipment for residential, commercial, institutional, and hospitality markets.
“The logistics involved with maintaining separate facilities does not align with optimizing manufacturing capabilities,” the release read. “ECR International recently invested over $2 million in our Dunkirk, N.Y. facility to streamline our operations and increase productivity. This plant consolidation will strengthen ECR International and allow us to continue manufacturing in New York state.”
