EPIC is headquartered in Norwalk, Ohio, and has facilities in Deerfield Twp., Mexico and Romania. It does electronics manufacturing services including circuit board assembly, said Todd Baggett, senior vice president of sales and account management.
It acquired the South Lebanon business in 2005. The company is moving because the lease ended in South Lebanon and it is growing, Baggett said.
“Flexibility with quick turnaround time is allowing us to do work in the United States that might otherwise be done in Mexico and China,” Baggett said.
The new building is also more energy efficient, with a more open layout to support better production flow, EPIC said.
“We strongly believe that when total cost is considered, ‘Made in USA’ is the right choice for many products. This is particularly true of projects that have lower volumes or variable demand,” said John Smith, Jr., the facility’s general manager, in a statement.
“We’ve structured our engineering and production processes to efficiently serve that market. In the last several years we’ve seen two projects brought back from China and hope our expanded facility will attract more of this business,” Smith said.
