Chromalloy breaks ground

TAMPA — Chromalloy broke ground on a $5 million ceramic core production facility in Tampa this week. The 40,000-square-foot facility is adjacent to the company's existing $30 million foundry, which was unveiled in December.

Chromalloy is a subsidiary of Sequa Corp., which is based in Tampa. Sequa's various manufacturing operations involve aerospace technology, metal coatings, and automotive parts.

“We are pleased to be a vital member of the community with a new world-class foundry — and now a new companion core production facility that will help us better serve our customers worldwide,” said Chromalloy President Armand Lauzon.
