BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Wire Works plans to invest more than $5 million to create new jobs and expand its facility on Buffalo’s East Side.
The company will renovate its facility on Clinton Street, creating 25 new jobs. The company currently employs 179 people.
"Buffalo Wire Works' decision to continue growing and investing in its Buffalo facilities demonstrates its unwavering commitment to Western New York and shows what a significant asset and contributor it is to the region,” said Empire State Development Acting Commissioner and President & CEO-designate Hope Knight.
