The former Honeywell building at 1345 15th St. in Franklin has been under new ownership for a couple of months, according to information from the Venango County website.
The Venango County parcel viewer shows that the building was purchased by RCGriff Holdings LLC on March 30 for $2.3 million.
No further definitive information about the new ownership or the projected use of the building has been obtained by the newspaper at this time.
At that time, Caroline Morelock, a senior external communications specialist with Honeywell’s corporate headquarters, had said the reason for the closure was to “move work to existing Honeywell facilities” in order to “streamline operations and better serve our customers.”
He had also said Honeywell would be moving those manufacturing jobs to Mexico following the Franklin closure.
Honeywell had occupied the structure since around the early 2010s when it took over from Sperian Fall Protection, formerly known as Bacou-Dalloz.
According to news archives, Bacau-Dalloz was originally Miller Equipment, a longtime local manufacturer of harnesses, lanyards and other fall protection equipment.
