A breath of fresh air
Technology Park opportunity attracts
growing manufacturer
Situation:
| The Rensselaer County IDA - created an opportunity for R&P in the East Greenbush
Technology Park
- helped R&P secure funding for the 75,000 square-foot
facility
- enabled R&P to create its home of the future – from
the ground up
|
In 2003,
Rupprecht & Patashnick Co., Inc. (R&P), a high-tech
manufacturer of air quality
detection devices, was evolving at a rapid pace and outgrowing all
three of its facilities in
the Albany, NY area. It was clear that the company needed to
consolidate into one central facility
to support its existing and future manufacturing and research
& development efforts – a space
large enough to accommodate expansion, yet still geographically
close to its talent and workforce.
Solution:
A solution arrived, close to home.
Understanding that R&P anticipated growth in the coming years,
the Rensselaer County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) proposed
a plan and secured funds
to construct a new facility in the East Greenbush Technology Park.
Located just east of
Albany, nestled in a growing sector of New York's Capital Region,
the technology park
offers a state-of-the-art operating environment that could
accommodate the company's 100+
employees – with additional room to grow in the coming years.
Results:
R&P currently occupies two-thirds
of the 75,000 square-foot capacity of the new building,
with an option to expand. The new building, constructed to meet
their specific business needs,
contains a large seminar room for conducting customer training,
enlarged service and quality
assurance areas, and a manufacturing facility designed to
accommodate future growth. The perfect
new home for this innovation-driven company.
