Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Council

The Raymond Corporation is repurposing an existing building located on Corporate Drive in the Town of Kirkwood, establishing the Energy Solutions Manufacturing Center of Excellence that will enable Raymond and its parent company to develop a more diverse portfolio of energy solutions as industry demand for electric products continues to grow. The new facility will continue to support its longstanding presence in New York State and its ‘green’ product line via the assembly of advanced energy solutions, including lithium-ion battery packs used in Raymond lift trucks. As a result of the expansion, The Raymond Corporation has committed to creating up to 45 new jobs. The company has begun the process of renovating, equipping, and operating at this facility and expects to be fully operational sometime in 2025. This announcement builds on the significant work being done in New York State and the Southern Tier in the energy storage and advanced battery industries.
