Ronkonkoma, NY - Retlif Testing Laboratories, a leading U.S. independent testing and strategic compliance organization headquartered in Ronkonkoma, NY, has inaugurated Phase One of an expansion program to offer more solar radiation testing, including both heat and photochemical testing, to military and commercial product manufacturer.
Hauppauge-based pharmaceutical firm LNK International recently became the third company in 2018 to qualify for designation in our foreign trade zone (FTZ). Their inclusion will make them exempt from many U.S. Customs rules and regulations and allow them to defer, reduce or eliminate tariffs on merchandise trade.
The Town of Islip is home to the only FTZ on Long Island. Through our alternate site framework program, we can help companies across Islip establish a FTZ designation at their existing locations. This doesn’t just benefit companies like LNK and its 1000 employees, but positively impacts the entire region’s economy.
NYT, By Marcelle Sussman Fischler –After 22 years in a condo near the beach in Shirley, N.Y., Dan and Donna Cresci longed for a home in a walkable community. They considered Port Jefferson, Bellport, Patchogue and East Hampton, but finally settled on Sayville, a congenial 5.4-square-mile hamlet with about 16,853 residents, on the South Shore of Long Island, midway between Manhattan and Montauk.
This January, local officials from the Town of Islip joined Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of Castella Imports’ new headquarters. And there was good reason to celebrate.
We worked closely with the Mediterranean food and spice company to help orchestrate their move to a 75,000-square-foot facility in the Heartland Business complex in Edgewood. The company will next plan to expand their manufacturing capacity in their existing location in Hauppauge. By making a $2.5 million capital investment in the new Edgewood facility, Castella will receive a series of sales tax exemptions and will add 40 new jobs.
