A medical technology company building out the former Motoman robotics plant for a new advanced manufacturing operation will begin hiring for high-paying positions this month, the company said.

NuVasive Inc. is on track with its $45 million investment into the 160,000-square-foot plant at 805 Liberty Lane, clearly visible to motorists passing on Interstate 75. The company will host at least two area jobs fairs in coming weeks.

In December, the San Diego, Calif.-based company first announced its intention to produce spinal implant products in West Carrollton, moving 100 employees from a current Fairborn operation and eventually employing about 300 workers altogether at the new site.

“We’re on track to initiate production in August of this year,” said Stephen Rozow, vice president of NuVasive’s global operations. “From my perspective, we’re on schedule, if not slightly ahead of schedule.”

Production will ramp up through the middle of 2017, Rozow said.

The company will make spinal implantables, with components meant to go within the human body. There will also be fixation instrumentation, plating, screws and rods meant to stabilize the spine. The plant will also make select instrumentation.
