Van Wert Mayor Don Farmer welcomes Jim Miller of Miller Precision Manufacturing Friday morning at the company’s new home in the former Teleflex/Kongsberg facility at 1265 Industrial Drive.

Miller Precision Manufacturing Industries, Inc. is moving from 1255 Industrial Dr. into the structure that for many years housed Teleflex and later Kongsberg before operations ceased. For Jim and Tim Miller, the move represents a chance at significant growth in the business that dates back to 1988 with a small tool and die operation with outdated equipment. Today, the firm has 85 employees, 12 of those already working in Van Wert.
