Nutting, a division of Acco Material Handling Solutions, has agreed to lease a new 86,000 square foot facility to be built by the Watertown Development Co. in Pheasant Ridge Industrial Park in Watertown, S.D. The $4.6 million project is the result of a partnership between Nutting, the state of South Dakota, the city of Watertown and the Watertown Development Co.
Nutting currently operates in a building located in the Lake Air Industrial Park. They will continue operating at that location until the new building is completed in the spring of 2008.
As a part of the new lease, Nutting will be expanding their Watertown operations as well. In addition to its existing 30 employees, Nutting will add 30 jobs. Nutting manufactures high quality material handling trailers and carts for use in a variety of industries and services a number of markets both domestically and abroad. They have operated in Watertown since 1984.
“The growth of the Nutting Division during 2006 and 2007 has exceeded expectations and we are very excited about the future growth potential in the material handling marketplace,” said Daniel Carmody, president of Nutting. “We are especially pleased to be able to provide our skilled Nutting employees with a state-of-the-art facility in Watertown.”
In addition to the non-motorized materials handling solutions offered by Nutting, Acco Material Handling Solutions companies manufacture monorail cranes and hoists, grabs, lifters and crane components. The Pennsylvania-based company has been in operation for more than 100 years.
