Sarasota manufacturer moves work from Ohio facility to local campus

Sarasota-based engineered motion control and hydraulic cartridge valve manufacturer Helios Technologies recently moved some work from Ohio to Florida.

The publicly traded company, which develops, makes, markets and sells customized electronic control systems and hydraulic cartridge valves, says it moved “quick release coupling order fulfillment” previously done in Maumee, Ohio, to a building on its Sarasota campus. The work is for Helios’ Faster North America’s products, the company says in a statement; Helios acquired the Faster Group, a global manufacturer of quick-release hydraulic coupling solutions based in Milan, in February 2018 for $531 million. 

A Helios Technologies spokeswoman says it wasn't an entire facility that was moved from Ohio to Florida, but "rather fulfillment processing."
