\nCore Tech Industrial Corp. is looking to wrap up the construction of a $1.7 million expansion of its Ballston facility factory by late summer.
\nThe just over 140,000 square foot project is a reflection of the growing demand for equipment at power plants in both the Capital Region and across the country, according to the company, located at 2 McCrea Hill Road.
\nOwner George Hubschmidtt said Core Tech designs and produces mechanical, electrical, and fire suppression equipment for several large manufacturers. Many of those customers, he said, have a strong need for power generation equipment. The demand has not wavered during the pandemic.
\n\u201cWe were immediately deemed as essential\u201d when the state shutdown many businesses. \u201cIt has presented itself with challenges at times, but we have been able to keep up with whatever safety precautions we have needed to take,\u201d said Hubschmidtt.
\nConstruction of the project met with some coronavirus-related delays, like getting permits while municipality offices were closed. Despite those delays, Hubschmidtt said Plank Construction in Schenectady has worked diligently to keep construction, which only began in April, on track.
\nThe mild weather throughout the spring, Hubschmidtt added, was helpful in keeping the project going and on target.
\n\u201cI really have to give credit to Plank Construction. They have been outstanding to work with during this time,\u201d said Hubschmidtt.
\nAt Core Tech\u2019s McCrea Hill Road complex, the manufacturer plans to have large-scale testing and assembly capabilities. The expansion will add around 14 positions over the next two years.
\nCore Tech is a full-fledged original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of complex, integrated systems for the power industry.
\nHubschmidtt also credits success of the project to the partnership he has with local government, who he described as supportive of the local economy. He said the Saratoga Economic Development Corporation aided Core Tech in the process of getting the project up and running.
\n\u201cWe are so fortunate here in Saratoga County. I know that sometimes the process of getting permits and approvals can be tough, but they have really been so great to deal with,\u201d said Hubschmidtt.
