CANTON − Howmet Aerospace plans to add more than 40 jobs at its Warner Road SE facility as it adds a new manufacturing line for its titanium products.

The Pennsylvania-based company, which is a global producer of titanium aerospace products, plans to invest $5 million in equipment at its facility at 1935 Warner Road SE. Canton City Economic Development Director Christopher Hardesty said the new equipment will allow Howmet to expand and create 43 new jobs with nearly $3 million in new payroll.

“This isn’t a physical expansion where they’re adding 100,000 square feet (to the facility), it’s a machinery and equipment expansion,” Hardesty said. “They are bringing new machinery and equipment down to add a new line of manufacturing for their titanium products for aerospace.”
