The Town of Wheatfield, Niagara County IDA and Niagara County Legislature welcomed a new neighbor with the ground-breaking ceremony this month for Edwards, formerly Edwards Vacuum, a company of international presence that will call the Town of Wheatfield its U. S. headquarters.

The United Kingdom-based Edwards by next August expects to house manufacturing, distribution and customer service operations at Vantage International Pointe in Wheatfield, employing more than 100 people. Currently, Edwards has a manufacturing site in Grand Island, a distribution center on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Wheatfield and customer service center in Massachusetts.

Edwards is a leading global supplier of integrated solutions for the manufacture of semi-conductors, flat panel displays, LED and solar cells. They also are a leader in vacuum technology for industrial, pharmaceutical, chemical, scientific, glass coating and food packaging industries. Edwards employs around 3,000 people worldwide in design, manufacture and support high technology vacuum and exhaust management equipment.
