Trans-Mit (Mitsui) to build in Commerce Way park
By Mark Schadenberg
WOODSTOCK -- Roll
out the red carpet or should that be a roll of steel.
Trans-Mit Steel will be building a location in Woodstock – a
Japanese steel company with many connections to the auto industry.
The City of Woodstock economic development office and city
council, reports that Trans-Mit has bought a 5-acre piece of land in the
Commerce Way industrial park along Parkinson Road with quick access to the
401/403 crossroads (www.cometothecrossroads.com). (Video: http://cometothecrossroads.com/index.php/media-centre?wid=28)
The ‘even more good news’ portion of the announcement is that the
company has an option to buy an additional 3-acre adjoining parcel.
The press clippings surrounding this news, includes a quote from
Mayor Pat Sobeski who notes that Trans-Mit is part of the Mitsui Steel Company (www.mitsui.com).
Their site says they have 148 locations in 67 countries. I would guess that
qualifies Mitsui as a big player.
Since we all consider Wikipedia a solid source for general
information (?), that site notes Mitsui to be one of the largest conglomerates
and publicly traded steel companies in the world.
Brad Hammond from the city’s economic development office is a
reliable source and he guesses as many as 35 jobs will be created.
Trans-Mit
will break ground on construction this autumn as it builds what is expected to
be a 70,000 sq ft structure.
Trans-Mit
already has two subsidiaries locally -- Steel
Technologies and Transfreight.
Trans-Mit – you could say – is another happy customer, says
Hammond.
“I think to some degree too, they’ve dealt with the city before,
they have a couple of other investments here and they know the type of service
we provide and how we treat our businesses and obviously they have been happy
with that,” said Hammond in The Sentinel-Review published story.
