ARaymond Tinnerman is reorganizing its U.S. and Canadian operations to streamline its organizational structure, enhance agility, and strengthen its ability to meet evolving customer needs.

The process includes shuttering its fastener factory in Kentucky and opening a new centralized distribution center near Detroit (Lake Orion, MI).

The Flemingsburg facility will begin closing in April and end all operations in December 2026, leaving 112 people unemployed. The company blamed the shuttering on “unfortunate market realities — including capacity utilization, changing customer demands, and operating cost pressures.”

“As a sixth-generation, family-owned business, we deeply regret closing this historic facility given the strong and valued relationships we have built with our employees and the Flemingsburg community,” stated Ramesh Gaddam, CEO of ARaymond Fluid Handling North America.

ARaymond, which has more than 700 employees across five plants in North America, also plans to open a new U.S. and Canadian distribution center near Detroit in the first quarter of 2026.

Founded in 1865, France-based ARaymond employs 8,000 people in 25 countries to design, manufacture and market fastening and assembly systems.
