Brush Wellman, an Ohio company that had been considering expansion in Utah, has instead decided to build a $60 million manufacturing plant in its hometown of Elmore.
The company, a global supplier of copper, nickel and beryllium alloys, had been seriously looking at Delta, company officials said. In fact, the state of Utah in December had offered the company a tax rebate of up to $700,000 if it expanded here.
The company said it selected Ohio instead because of some undisclosed state and city-level incentives and the availability of a workforce experienced in primary beryllium production.
The expansion is expected to create about 25 jobs, the company said.
