TH Plastics to locate plant into Tiffin Spec Building

Today, TH Plastics, Inc., a custom plastic injection molding company that supplies to the appliance and automotive industries, announced plans to locate a production plant at the Tiffin Spec Building, 680 Tyber Rd., in the Eagle Rock Business Park in Tiffin. According to a release from Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership, the facility will be expanded to house 112,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space to support the appliance industry in Ohio. TH Plastics has two other facilities in the area, one in Findlay (started in 2010) and one in Bowling Green (started in 2013) that manufacture and assemble products for a variety of customers in the Midwest, the release states. Construction is scheduled to be completed in summer 2021 and production will begin shortly after, according to the release. TH Plastics was founded in 1974 by Ted Haas in Mendon, Michigan, which is the site of the company's headquarters and first manufacturing plant. Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership, the Regional Growth Partnership and JobsOhio worked closely with TH Plastics to secure the project, which will receive Roadwork Development (629) assistance from Development Services Agency and Ohio Department of Transportation Jobs & Commerce funds, the release states. Local incentives include the City of Tiffin's New Jobs Program and property tax exemption through a preexisting Community Reinvestment Area. OhioMeansJobs-Seneca County also is offering up to $330,000 in potential workforce development grants, it states. These incentives are contingent upon approval of Tiffin City Council. The spec building was constructed in 2018 by Clouse Construction in coordination with Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership, then Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp., on an 11.3-acre site that had been owned by the City of Tiffin. Previous speculative industrial building initiatives by SIEDC include the building that now houses MBDS, built at 981 Tyber Rd. in 2006, and the Quick Tab II facility, built at 241 Heritage Dr. in 1994.
