Key Industries

Advanced Manufacturing

We are makers. Richland County has been developing, producing and delivering products and services for 100+ years in a wide array of industries.

The region’s strength across the entire value chain is evident– from extraction (Utica and Marcellus Shale) and processing to manufacturing and distribution. Polymer and materials companies benefit from access to markets, customers, innovation and a skilled, knowledgeable workforce.

Metal Fabrication and Machining

Ohio is a leader across the country for metal production and fabrication. Why? Because of Richland County. Around Mansfield, there’s an exceptional established distribution infrastructure, a relatively low cost of doing business and a talented, dedicated workforce. All those combine to make fabrication a huge industry in the area with tons of growth potential.

Many of these companies are in Richland County, supporting a range of OEM supply chains, which makes our area an ideal location to grow and expand your automotive operations.
