Description

* All applicants must be located in, or willing to commute to Dayton, OH. Relocation is not available. This is not a remote position. * 

At FC Industries, we believe that your success is our success. Since our founding in 1972, we’ve grown from a small family business into a thriving manufacturing organization with more than 390,000 square feet of space. Now in our second generation of family ownership and leadership, we continue to invest in our people, our facilities, and the technology that drives us forward.

We’re continuing to invest in advanced manufacturing equipment, automation, and new technology to support our growth. That means our business systems are more important than ever.
