Dayton Superior opens manufacturing facility in Braselton

An Ohio-based construction products maker has opened a manufacturing and distribution facility in Braselton, Gov. Sonny Perdue announced Thursday.

The 192,000-square-foot facility, which opened May 10, will be Dayton Superior's primary manufacturing and distribution center in the Southeast. Operations from a smaller distribution facility in Lithonia are being consolidated into the Braselton facility.

The company is expected to create 90 direct jobs in the first year of operations and will add another 50 jobs in the second year, according to the governor's office. Dayton Superior, which makes concrete accessories and chemicals, will invest about $15 million in the region's economy.
