Chism Automation Plans Expansion in Right to Work Kentucky

Chism Automation is expanding its location soon in Right to Work Somerset, Kentucky. In order to do so, the company is investing $800,000 toward the project. They will also create 10 new jobs!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We partner with our customers to provide a level of support that our competitors can’t or won’t provide and we do it quickly when needed. […] We compete with Japanese, German and out-of-state automation groups that are great technically but can’t provide our level of local support. Customers that once came to us with one- and two-robot-sized projects are asking for assembly lines with five to 10 robots. We have managed a few of these types of projects with current resources but need more space, electrical power and staff to facilitate growth.†[…]

“Small, Kentucky-owned businesses help fuel our economy, and as they grow, expand and thrive in our communities, the commonwealth’s historic economic momentum will only continue. […] I want to congratulate Chism Automation’s leadership on this expansion and look forward to the company’s continued success in Pulaski County.†[…]

“Kyle Chism is a great example of what a strong work ethic, good morals and an entrepreneurial spirit can produce. […] From meager beginnings, Chism Automation has grown into a leader in the robotics industry, and this upcoming expansion exemplifies his drive and the continuation of a homegrown success story. We are continuing to see record growth in the Capital of Lake Cumberland, and it inspires us daily at SPEDA to keep pushing forward with our new economic development model.â€
