The site is located just to the south of Thaler’s existing 69,472-square foot building on the north side of Edwards Drive.
The site of the 14,000-square-foot building is zoned highway business district in Springboro. Its warehouse will have double frontage on both Edwards Drive and Tahlequah Trail, with access from Edwards to align with loading docks on the existing Thaler building to the north, as planning documents show.
City documents describe the precision machine shop as a “significant employer” in Springboro that works with aerospace and military customers. The new building will replace several storage trailers used to store bulk materials for customers.
The company was founded in 1952 and has operated at 257 Hopeland St. in Dayton (historically an early location for the business), as well as 1195 Mound Road in Miamisburg.
Warren County is its location today. In 2011, Ohio awarded Thaler a 50 percent job-creation tax credit worth $171,324 over six years, based on the assumption the company would move to Springboro. At the time, the company was considering a move to Indiana.
Michael Kunk, the company’s chief financial officer, confirmed plans for the new building, but referred questions to a colleague.
The family-owned business was sold to new owners earlier this year.
