Incertec, a metal-finishing company that serves aerospace and defense clients, is packing up its Florida shop in Titusville and shifting operations a bit up the Space Coast to a revamped plant in Edgewater. City records and company notices show the move comes with a multimillion-dollar buildout, significant wastewater system upgrades, and plans to add dozens of manufacturing jobs. Local economic development staff say permitting and infrastructure work are already in motion as the firm gets the new site ready.
According to a resolution from the City of Edgewater, Incertec plans to invest about $8 million to open the manufacturing facility in southeast Volusia County and has applied for Volusia County's Water Quality Infrastructure Grant to help pay for required wastewater-treatment upgrades. The document projects roughly 150 new-to-Volusia jobs at an average annual salary of about $54,000 and estimates roughly $60 million in annual direct economic output once the plant is fully staffed. The project could be eligible for up to $750,000 in WQIG2 reimbursement, the City of Edgewater notes.
Company Background and Acquisition
Incertec, which operates plating, anodizing, and heat-treating facilities across the U.S., notes on its website that it is relocating the Florida operation that formerly operated as Synergy Metal Finishing of Titusville to Edgewater. The relocation plan is outlined by INCERTEC.
Industry outlet Finishing & Coating reports that Incertec acquired Synergy in mid-2024 to add anodizing, zinc, and other plating services to its lineup. The state corporate filing for Incertec Edgewater Building, LLC, is available through Sunbiz.
What It Means for Titusville Workers
The Orlando Business Journal reports that Incertec expects to relocate roughly 60 employees from the Titusville site and to hire about 110 new workers for the Edgewater operation. Business listings and supplier registries identify the former Synergy operation at 895 Buffalo Road in Titusville under the Incertec Florida name, which helps explain the headcount shift. Those employment figures differ slightly from the city's projection of 150 new-to-Volusia jobs, underscoring that hiring and relocation details are still being finalized, as seen in company listings on Buzzfile.
Why Edgewater?
Edgewater has been marketing parcels at ParkTowne and a nearby Space Coast industrial park to aerospace suppliers that want to be near the Cape, giving firms room to expand and easier access to launch-industry supply chains. Economic development staff have also been working to resolve wastewater permitting and to connect the company with local workforce partners as the site moves through planning review. For local context on industrial land and build-out, see the Space Coast Industrial Park project information.
Edgewater economic development board minutes note the company's remodel of an existing building is "almost complete" and that planning review and permitting are active, with the wastewater system work scheduled to finish in 2026 before any reimbursement would be considered. Those steps will shape the timing for hires and production, city officials say. Additional details are included in the city's meeting minutes and the council resolution on the WQIG2 application, available through the City of Edgewater.
