A solid history with metals and metalworking

South Central Ohio’s JEDISO Region has been active in the metalworking and metal processing industries for a long time. Centrally located in the nation’s auto and appliance corridors, our region makes it easy to reach OEMs and other customers throughout eastern North America within a day, thanks to a network of Interstate-caliber divided highways in every direction that offers fast access to Interstates 64, 70, 71, and 77. For larger shipments, we have sites with direct rail service and access to truck-to-train transload sites. And aerospace industry companies recognize the value and risk reduction of having two counties that are Certified AeroReady.

Our long presence in metalworking and metal processing has created a highly skilled and motivated workforce that takes pride in productivity and work well done. We’ve kept that workforce strong through local K-12 and postsecondary educators who prepare young people for success by helping them develop and sharpen skills in advanced manufacturing, CNC programming and operation, automotive, engineering, welding, and other in-demand areas.

You’ll also find that our area’s utility providers have the capacity your company needs at remarkably affordable rates. In particular, the region has access to inexpensive electricity and massive amounts of fresh water to support metals production.
