SentrySafe, a Rochester-based security firm, plans to invest nearly $10 million in its Rochester manufacturing operations over the next two to three years.
According to company officials, the investment will support growth and enhancements of its core Fire-Safe products, Security Safe, Home Defense and Pistol Solution product lines.
As part of the realignment, production of the SentrySafe current long gun safes and gun cabinets in Shanghai will be discontinued. SentrySafe will now produce 100 percent of its fire-resistant chests in Rochester, growing the company’s U.S. manufactured products. A very small portion of fire-resistant chests were manufactured in Shanghai.
The new investment will focus specifically on equipment enhancements, new product development and packaging for the core products.
“By removing long gun safes and cabinets from our product portfolio, we maintain our current employment at our headquarters in Rochester and can focus on future innovations in the products that built our more than 80-year-old business,” said Jim Brush, SentrySafe CEO.
The discontinuation of long gun safes and gun cabinets will begin immediately and is expected to be fully transitioned by the first quarter of 2013.
