Halton Co., which manufactures commercial kitchen ventilation and air distribution systems, will build a $6.66 million second facility in Scottsville. The company has an existing plant specializing in gas appliances, heating and cooling and ice makers on Industrial Drive in Scottsville.

The new 55,000-square-foot facility will house the company’s Halton Air Moving division, which supplies the North American market. The operation will include manufacturing space and a research and development lab. The new location will make emission control devices, specialized air handling units and other products.

Halton Co. is a subsidiary of Halton Group Americas Inc., an arm of Halton Group, which was founded in Finland in 1969. The company moved to Allen County in 1997, where it currently employs 160 people. Halton Group has a presence in 32 countries and employs nearly 1,500 people worldwide.

To encourage the investment and job growth in the community, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority in March preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $100,000 through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act. KEIA allows approved companies to recoup Kentucky sales and use tax on construction costs, building fixtures, equipment used in research and development and electronic processing.
