Massachusetts-based manufacturer Greene Rubber Co. has finalized a $3.85 million purchase of three buildings in Plainfield, in preparation for a major contract with Electric Boat.
Greene Rubber has told the town it will have between 80 and 100 employees at the site once it’s fully operational. The buildings — at 226, 230 and 238 Norwich Road — were formerly a car dealership.
The 30,299-square-foot campus spans 34 acres, including parking.
According to its website, Greene Rubber manufactures rubber components and fabricated rubber products for industrial uses. The company says its manufacturing processes include rubber molding, extrusion, vulcanizing and die cutting.
In Plainfield, the company said it will manufacture a variety of components for Electric Boat, including a funnel used in fluidics transfer systems on submarines. It will also carry out engineering design, research and development and product testing at the campus.
In addition to its Woburn headquarters, the company also has a molding division in Danielson, Connecticut, and a manufacturing operation in Ohio.
The Plainfield site was redeveloped and sold by Lyman Real Estate Brokerage & Development, headquartered in Westbrook.
The buyer was represented by Andrea Kazantzis, head broker at Kazantzis Real Estate of Brooklyn, Connecticut.
