New 29,000 square foot building will create 24 new full-time positions; expect to begin commercial operation summer of 2025

Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM) (“GHM” or “the Company”), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer, and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy, and process industries, announced that its operating company, Graham Manufacturing, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony today for its new 29,000-square-foot facility in Batavia, NY. This event marks a significant milestone in the Company’s ongoing growth and commitment to serving its customers and the community. The project represents a total investment of approximately $17.6 million, which includes a strategic investment of $13.5 million from one of the Company’s valued customers, with the remaining investment provided by Graham.

State and local officials will join Graham’s executive leadership and construction managers in turning the first ceremonial shovels of dirt, officially launching the building project.

The construction of the new facility is expected to be completed over the next twelve months with operations beginning shortly thereafter. The building will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and designed with sustainability in mind, aligning with Graham’s broader environmental goals.

Dan Thoren, Graham Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our new facility will play a key role in enhancing our operational capabilities, providing the expanded capacity to accelerate production to meet our customers’ growing requirements, particularly the U.S. Navy. Moreover, it will enable us to make a positive impact on the Batavia community. Once operational, the expanded operations are expected to create 24 new full-time skilled positions, reinforcing our commitment to job creation and community development.”

U.S. Senator Charles Schumer said, “Graham’s Batavia, NY workforce and the products they make are integral to supporting our nation’s national defense, and today’s $18 million expansion doubles down on their world-class work as a strategic supplier for the U.S. Navy. I’ve been proud to secure vital federal funding for the U.S. Navy’s Submarine and Aircraft Carriers Industrial Base supply chain that the Navy relies on to purchase technology and equipment made right here in Batavia by Graham’s existing 367-employee local workforce. This not only supports these local jobs, but enables the new 24-job $18 million expansion that we break ground on today. With today’s expansion, I commend Graham for setting sail to reach new horizons not only in this company’s growth but in support of our national defense.”

Claudia Tenney, U.S. Representative for New York's 24th Congressional District, said, “Congratulations to Graham Corporation on breaking ground on this new manufacturing facility here in Batavia. Graham Corporation's commitment to creating quality and innovative technologies for our military and providing 24 new job opportunities in our community is commendable. I am eager to witness the continued growth and positive impact Graham Corporation will have in our community and around the world."

Graham is working with Ciurzynski Consulting, Montante Construction and Wolfe Architecture to design and build the advanced manufacturing facility.
