BonaDent is embarking on an $11 million expansion of its dental laboratory operations in Seneca County, NY, to support its need for more space and to accommodate 90 new employees and equipment.
BonaDent will purchase and renovate a former Wal-Mart facility, located on a lot adjacent to its headquarters, in Seneca Falls, the company announced. A $750,000 convertible loan from the Empire State Development Upstate Regional Blueprint Fund will be used to purchase and install equipment and/or building renovations and site work.
"State and local loans and incentives will help BonaDent obtain the necessary new technologies and equipment that will allow us to compete with competitor labs that outsource their work offshore to places like China," said BonaDent President Bruce Bonafiglia, in a press release.
BonaDent currently produces dental restorations in a 40,000-sq-ft facility in Seneca Falls. It is the second largest privately held company of its type in the U.S., employing 138 workers at this location.
