Godfrey & Wing Plans New Vacuum Pressure Impregnation Plant to Provide Metal Finishing Services for General Motors

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Inc.; Houston, Texas). Godfrey & Wing Incorporated (Cleveland, Oh.) is planning to move into a new building, which will be built by the Saint Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency (Canton, NY) in Massena, New York. The building will be a 10,000 sqft addition to an existing 20,000 sqft county-owned building. A lease agreement has yet to signed between the company and the county but is expected shortly. The county will go out for bids for a construction company once the lease agreement has been signed. Construction is expected to start this spring with operations starting up by the end of the year.

Godfrey & Wing has entered into a partnership with General Motors (GM) to process parts utilizing its vacuum pressure impregnation technology. GM currently delivers parts to an existing Godfrey & Wings plant in Cleveland, which in turn performs its metal finishing process and returns the parts to GM. Having a metal finishing operation closer to GM's plant in Massena, New York makes more sense logistically for the company. The new metal finishing plant will be located four miles from GM's plant.

Godfrey & Wing has over 50 years experience sealing porosity inherent in metal castings and other parts. Utilizing a dry and wet vacuum pressure impregnation technology offers both anaerobic and thermal cure polymer resins.
