Buckeye Precision Threads Inc., a specialty thread-grinding operation serving the advanced manufacturing sector, recently received a $25,000 grant from JobsOhio.

The funding will support upgrades to the company’s new location in Warren, while enhancing its ability to meet growing demand and pursue innovation in precision machining.

Formerly known as Jewelers Machinists Co. on Long Island, New York, Buckeye Precision Threads recently relocated operations to Ohio.

The JobsOhio Small Business Grant is designed to fuel the growth of businesses in eligible communities or those owned by underrepresented populations. It supports fixed asset investments, workforce expansion and operational improvements critical to long-term business success.

“Buckeye Precision Threads Inc. is proud to launch operations in Ohio, where a strong business environment is helping us build a foundation for lasting success,” said Ray Pawloski, company president. “Lake to River and JobsOhio’s support has been instrumental in positioning us for growth and innovation.”

Lake to River, the JobsOhio regional network partner serving Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana counties, helped secure the grant.
