URBANA, Ohio -- People are excited about Rittal Corporation adding over 100 new people. Rittal is planning a $6.7 million expansion at its factory, and add 118 jobs over the next few years.

The company makes giant enclosure boxes for the electrical and computer industries.

The company started in Springfield almost 30 years ago, but moved to Urbana so that it could expand.

Tech Two has purchased the former Rittal plant in Springfield. Rittal says selling its old building was the only way to make its expansion happen.

Tech Two is also planning some expansion. Both companies credit tax incentives or loans from the state of Ohio.
