Electrochem is moving to larger facilities

Electrochem said it will relocate 230 employees this week from Canton to a much larger "green" facility in Raynham (above).

Electrochem is a subsidiary of Greatbatch Inc., a Clarence, N.Y., company that develops batteries, capacitors, and related components that are used in such products as implantable medical devices.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new 82,000-square-foot facility in Raynham is scheduled for Friday, the company said.

Double-digit growth since 2005 has caused Electrochem to outgrow its current space, and the new $30 million facility is almost triple the size of the Canton facility, the company said.
