Oxford,
Mass.-based IPG Photonics (Nasdaq: IPGP) is looking to build a
50,000-square-foot facility at 552 S. Econ Cir. according to Seminole County
documents. The facility is being proposed for a vacant, 6.1-acre parcel next to
the IPG-owned OptiGrate Corp. manufacturing facility at 562 S Econ Cir., IPG
Oviedo Technology Center general manager Alexei Glebov told Orlando Business Journal.
"The
new 50,000-square-foot building is intended for expansion of IPG’s
manufacturing facility owing to growing demand for the holographic optical
components made at the Oviedo manufacturing facility," Glebov said.
"Also, the new facility targets growth of development and manufacturing of
laser systems at the IPG Oviedo Technology Center."
The
facility would add more than 100 high-tech manufacturing jobs, according to
Glebov.
