January 31, 20223 yr 28 minutes ago, LlamaLawyer said: It's not about the state, it's about proximity. Intel engineers will want to inspect facilities where suppliers are producing parts, and may need to make relatively frequent trips back and forth depending on what is being made. Service companies will probably do some of the more specialized equipment maintenance, and their employees would have to actually physically go to Intel to do repair work. Raw material suppliers have to actually ship materials to the site. These and many other activities require people or things to physically go to Intel's production location. That's why Cleveland stands to benefit a lot more than Austin. Intel can call up a Cleveland based service company at 10 AM and expect a service person onsite that day. If the service company was based in Austin, everything would have to be schedule a week in advance and would require a plane ride. Obviously some suppliers have to be from far away--certain minerals only come from certain parts of the world, and some types of specialists only exist in New York or silicon valley. Given my knowledge of how supplier relationships developed around Honda (I used to work for a contractor that does shipping for Honda), I would expect the majority of spinoff businesses to develop within a 45-minute driving radius of Intel, with a decent number but less than half falling in a 1-3 hour driving radius, and very few being more than three hours away. So I would anticipate some spinoff development as far as Toledo or Pittsburgh. Beyond that, the locations of suppliers will be determined by factors known only to Intel or silicon specialists. Well said. I think Cleveland benefits if we have the needed suppliers already in place here that are robust enough for Intel to tap into. What those are I'm not sure. Any new spin-off needed I would assume would be built in Columbus metro because it's closer. That's my thinking at least.

I hope this deal does not happen. That park was struggling, I don't believe Cedar Point is (COVID not withstanding), I don't think Sea World closing the park is the greatest concern. Cedar Fair has been a good partner to Sandusky recently, partnering with the city to make capital improvements and investing in BG nearby to create a hospitality management program. I would think that those initiatives and programs go away overnight if this deal goes through. Along with the corporate salaries (though the corporate offices weren't that large). @cadmen, mentioned that there were hints that the HQ might be on the way out of Sandusky anyway. Their HQ was a small building on site and very outdate, I believe they planned on moving it recently. Given the commitments they had made in Sandusky and that the company views Cedar Point as their flagship park I'm not sure I buy that they're slowly moving out if the sale doesn't go through.

When Intel announced in January they were building a $20 billion complex to manufacture computer chips near Columbus, Gov. Mike DeWine heralded it as “monumental news for the state of Ohio” and “transformative for our state.” It’s estimated the facility will sit on 1,000 acres, potentially employing 7,000 people during construction and 3,000 Intel employees when completed. And, although it’s in Licking County, the effects will ripple statewide, including in Northeast Ohio. We talked to three area experts about what this might mean. https://clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/news/articles/how-the-columbus-intel-plant-impacts-northeast-ohio

April 25, 20223 yr Rise of the robots: Lincoln Electric adds to its manufacturing skills "In just three years, Lincoln Electric Co. has built in Euclid what may be the largest 3D printing factory of its kind anywhere. The operation, Lincoln Electric Additive Solutions (LAS), mates Lincoln’s core arc welding capability with robotics to give the 125-year-old company entry into additive manufacturing, a rapidly growing sector of the manufacturing industry. 3D printing puts down layers of material, using a computer-guided design, to create three-dimensional objects. LAS’s operation uses a kind of 3D printing called wire-arc additive manufacturing, or WAAM, that involves a process Lincoln has been working with for decades, arc welding. A robot-guided electric welder melts wire that is deposited layer upon layer in a process that uses multi-axis turntables to create a piece that may take days to build.Additive manufacturing contrasts with traditional component manufacturing, where blocks of material are stamped and then machined or cut to trim excess or where liquids are poured into molds and solidify when cooled. Additive manufacturing builds materials into a finished product, which may have channels or hollowed-out cores that traditional methods couldn’t create. In Lincoln’s case, that means melting welding wire in hundreds, even thousands of layers." https://www.crainscleveland.com/manufacturing/lincoln-electric-adds-its-manufacturing-skills

May 11, 20223 yr There was some talk up above about potential benefits to Cleveland from Intel moving to Ohio. I thought you guys might be interested to know I saw my first evidence of that today.

Nothing huge, but this isn't a readily available capability locally now, and it's really cool to see Intel starting to have an impact. Tldr: Intel is already making an impact.
