GROVE CITY, Ohio — SICCET USA has announced plans to open its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Grove City, marking a significant investment by the Italy-based company into the American market.
The new 20,000-square-foot operation represents a $2 million investment and is expected to create 15 new jobs in Franklin County. The facility will manufacture high-performance cables used to monitor and control temperature in demanding environments, including aircraft engines, power plants and industrial food equipment.
SICCET USA is the American subsidiary of SICCET SRL, a longtime European supplier of temperature sensor cable solutions. The company specializes in thermocouple and RTD cable manufacturing — critical components in ensuring performance, precision and safety in modern industrial systems.
Company leadership said the decision to locate in Grove City was driven by the Columbus Region’s central location, robust logistics network and access to a skilled workforce.
“SICCET USA is proud to begin our U.S. manufacturing journey in Grove City,” said Ivan Dall’Armellina, president of SICCET USA and co-owner of SICCET SRL. “This location offers strong infrastructure, a collaborative business environment and proximity to key markets that are vital for our long-term growth.”
Grove City Mayor Richard “Ike” Stage welcomed the announcement, noting that the community continues to attract advanced manufacturing firms seeking long-term growth opportunities.
Regional economic development leaders say the investment reflects a broader trend of international companies choosing central Ohio as a gateway into the North American market.
Deborah Scherer, senior vice president of global trade and investment at the Columbus Partnership, said SICCET’s move underscores growing global confidence in the region’s industrial base and logistics strengths.
JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef added that Ohio’s workforce, infrastructure and global reach continue to attract world-class manufacturers looking to expand operations in the United States. JobsOhio partnered in supporting the project.
The Grove City facility positions SICCET to better serve its expanding North American customer base as demand grows for specialized, high-performance industrial components amid a resurgence in U.S. manufacturing.
