Hwa Fong Rubber has announced its intent to purchase the former Sumitomo Rubber USA manufacturing facility and property in Tonawanda in New York State, and unveiled plans to transform it into an active industrial park for various future uses across manufacturing, assembly, logistics and technology.
Initially named the HF Tonawanda Industrial Park, the site will become home to a dynamic mix of local, national and international company operations, while ensuring a robust reuse of the longstanding regional industrial site.
Prospective operators within the park will include automotive-related manufacturing in rubber products, wheel parts, transmissions, chassis and other components.
