Empire State Development (ESD) today announced that it is partnering with ITT Inc. support growth in its New York State operations across three locations. ITT is a multi-national manufacturer of highly engineered critical components and customized technology solutions for the transportation, industrial and energy markets. ITT currently maintains operations in more than 35 countries with sales in approximately 125 countries. The company’s Industrial Process (IP) segment, a global leader in centrifugal and twin-screw pumps for process flow applications, is headquartered in Seneca Falls, New York. 

The company plans to invest in facility upgrades, machinery and equipment, and other operational improvements while adding to its workforce in Seneca, Onondaga, and Erie Counties. The combined project includes an investment of up to $85 million over the next five years, and the creation of up to 75 new, quality jobs in the state. ESD is providing up to $3.25 million to ITT through the performance-based Excelsior Jobs Tax Credit program to assist with the planned expansion. 

Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “ESD is committed to growing the broader manufacturing ecosystem statewide thanks to innovative, growing companies like ITT. This project represents another big win for the upstate economy, furthering New York’s position as global hub for the businesses and technologies that are powering the 21st Century.” 

The investment is focused on the following three ITT locations: 

Goulds Pumps: Located in Seneca Falls, up to 45 new jobs will be created, with a planned capital investment of $72.5 million over the next five years. There are approximately 620 employees at the facility, part of the company’s IP segment.

Enidine: Located in Orchard Park, up to 25 new jobs will be created, with a planned capital investment of $11 million over the next five years. There are approximately 230 employees at the facility presently onsite.

Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer and President, Industrial Process Bartek Makowiecki said, “ITT has a long, successful history of value creation, job creation and community partnership in New York State. Notably, we celebrated Goulds Pumps’ 175th anniversary in Seneca Falls last year and we recently opened our EMD facility in Syracuse. We look forward to many more significant milestones across all our businesses operating in New York and greatly appreciate the state’s continued support.” 

Thanks to Governor Kathy Hochul’s leadership, Upstate New York has seen a major revival in manufacturing. This announcement further supports her efforts and commitment to growing New York’s manufacturing sector, which has long served as a major employer for the state and a critical path to good-paying, middle-class jobs. New York is home to nearly 14,000 manufacturing operations. More than 420,000 New Yorkers work in this sector and since Governor Hochul took office in August 2021, employment in manufacturing increased by 12,200 in New York State. Manufacturing contributed more than $95 billion to New York’s gross domestic product and is responsible for approximately $85 billion in exports per year.

State Senator Patrick Gallivan said, "ITT's investment in supporting businesses such as Enidine in Orchard Park and others across the state will help secure existing jobs and create new ones.

State Assemblyman Jeff Gallahan said, “As a representative for portions of the Finger Lakes and Central New York, I am always excited to hear about the formation of new partnerships that will strengthen the regional economy and create new high-paying jobs. Goulds Pumps has been a staple of the Town of Seneca Falls for over 175 years, employing hundreds of skilled workers. New opportunities and further expansion are on the way thanks to this excellent investment. I look forward to seeing the positive impact this will bring to the surrounding community.”
