The provider of steel, aluminum and cast iron products for the construction industry says its facility west of Salt Lake City will be located at 58 S.1200 West. The Utah location will initially employ about 20 people, the company said.

In January, Utah offered an incentive package worth $585,000 to help convince Syracuse Castings to expand in Utah. The money is in the form of a tax rebate of corporate income taxes paid in the state, said Michael Sullivan, spokesman for the Governor's Office of Economic Development.

Syracuse Castings is among a number of small manufacturing companies that are expanding in Utah as the state amid one of Utah's strongest economic expansions ever.

Some are expanding in Utah to be closer to customers or vendors. Ohio-based Third Dimension, a vendor for Kraftmaid Cabinets, for example, plans to open a nearly 47,000 square foot distribution facility at 5995 W. Amelia Earhart Drive to be closer to Kraftmaid Cabinetry, which also is expanding in West Jordan.
