A maker of railcar equipment is coming to Henrietta and is expected to create 44 jobs. Rolen-Jinxin is a joint venture of companies from Spain and China.
They have chosen a site in West Henrietta to locate their first U.S.-based operation. The company makes interior parts and other equipment for railcars.
Rolen-Jinxin will create production, engineering and management jobs at the West Henrietta location. Empire State Development has offered tax credits worth up to $600,000. Monroe County is also offering incentives. The total project cost is close to $1 million.
A company official, managing director David Parr, says that Rolen-Jinxin will provide components for the Amtrak Acela next generation high speed trains that ALSTOM will be building in Hornell.
The company will be using existing warehouse space on Becker Road. It’s expected the renovation project will be completed by September.
I thought the interior was just the back side of the exterior?
Wish it was an American company, but we don’t have a railcar manufacturer.
I expect as soon as the company gets established and becomes profitable, New York will end its tax credits and begin pillaging the company. In five years the company will go out of business or will move to another state, like North Carolina.
Welcome news. Rochester has been receiving one body blow after another. It was once called the “Image Capital of the World”, with Xerox, Kodak and Bausch and Lomb all founded or headquartered there at one time.
