Geis Underway on $200M Manufacturing Facility for Viega in Shalersville, Ohio

SHALERSVILLE, OHIO — Geis Development is underway on the construction of a new 220,000-square-foot manufacturing facility for Viega in Shalersville, about 40 miles southeast of Cleveland. Viega works in press technology for metal pipe fittings and valves. The project is situated within Geis’ Turnpike Commerce Center. Construction began in November and is slated for completion in early 2025. The 80-acre parcel and construction of the new plant represent an investment of approximately $200 million in Ohio. Geis is collaborating with Viega’s design team to ensure that the project aligns with Viega’s sustainability goals, which include reducing the carbon emissions associated with importing products by manufacturing more items in the U.S. The new facility will be completely carbon neutral from the start, supporting the company’s long-term goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions for all its plants by 2035.
