The Guernsey County facility is expected to create 20 jobs with support from a $75,000 JobsOhio grant
Comstock Metals LLC has selected Cambridge as one of its national locations for an industrial-scale solar panel recycling and production facility and logistics hub.
The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Comstock Inc., is expected to create 20 full-time jobs through the Ohio operation.
The project is supported by a $75,000 JobsOhio grant, which promotes economic development, business expansion and job creation. OhioSE assisted the company through the process of establishing the facility and obtaining the financial assistance.
Comstock Metals specializes in industrial-scale recycling of end-of-life solar panels, recovering materials including aluminum, copper, silver and glass through a zero-landfill process.
The company has operated its initial recycling facility in Silver Springs, Nevada, for the past 2 1/2 years. The Cambridge facility will expand the company’s capacity and produce aluminum, silver and glass bead outputs for resale into Midwest industrial supply chains.
“Comstock Metals’ decision to establish its first Ohio processing and production facility in Cambridge reflects the strategic advantages the state offers growing companies,” said J.P. Nauseef, JobsOhio president and CEO.
The company has identified a 21,570-square-foot facility with an adjacent laydown yard.
Corrado De Gasperis, CEO of Comstock Inc., said the Cambridge facility is part of the company’s growing national network for logistics, storage and recycling of end-of-life solar materials.
“We thank Ohio for supporting and enabling jobs in this region,” De Gasperis said.
Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, president of Comstock Metals, said the central Ohio location provides a cost-effective logistics solution for the company’s Midwest and Northeast customer base.
Matt Abbott, president and CEO of OhioSE Economic Development, said the investment continues positive momentum in eastern and southeastern Ohio.
“We are grateful for the decision of Comstock Metals to invest in Guernsey County,” Abbott said.
