UPDATE @ 5:05 p.m.: FRAM Filtration has committed to a $5.4 million expansion at its Greenville manufacturing facility to add a fourth oil filter production line, bringing the plant's annual capacity to more than 100 million oil filters.

The 20,000-square-foot expansion revives an area of the plant that was previously idled “due to manufacturing consolidations,”plant manager John Staub said.

Staub said the state-of-the-art facility can produce more than 400 models of Fram’s latest generation oil filters.

“The plant itself will produce over 400,000 filters a day in total with a crew of 380 employees. We will manufacture over 100 million filters this year,” he said.

FIRST REPORT

FRAM Filtration will make an announcement Friday about local production at its Greenville manufacturing facility, Darke County economic development officials announced Tuesday.

FRAM, which manufactures and markets oil, air and fuel filters, as well as automotive accessories, will celebrate the growth and contributions of the company’s plant at 851 Jackson St. in Greenville.

In addition, the event will include state and local recognition, officials said.
