The expansion of a home improvement products manufacturer with Ohio ties is bringing almost 600 new jobs to a Cincinnati suburb over the next five years, according to a July 28 announcement from the state’s Department of Development.
Great Day Improvements, which the news release called one of the fastest-growing home improvement companies in North America, is expanding in the Southwest and Northeast regions of the state
The expansion of the company is projected to bring 583 jobs to Sharonville and 412 to Northeast Ohio.
“This is a historic day for the City of Sharonville and across the Buckeye State as we celebrate this major announcement,” Sharonville Mayor Kevin Hardman said. “Great Day’s expansion of their manufacturing operations in our community, facilitated, in large part, by their commitment to bringing 583 new jobs to our community, is a true game changer.
Great Day Improvements started as two Cleveland-based brands – Patio Enclosures and Stanek Windows. It has since acquired several other brands, including Leafguard, Champion Windows and Apex Energy Solutions.
“With Ohio roots, we want to be here for growth and opportunity. It’s our partnerships with Ohio and local communities making that a reality,” Great Day Improvements CEO Drew Weinfurtner said. “Our community collaboration helps us lock in Ohio as Great Day’s center for growth, reinforcing our commitment to the state that built us.”
The expansion is a partnership between Gov. Mike DeWine’s administration and JobsOhio, a private economic development corporation funded by the state’s liquor profits.
The development was spurred by the Ohio Tax Credit Authority‘s approval of a tax credit, also July 28. The news release said JobsOhio will also provide assistance for the project, but specifics have not yet been made public.
