DOVER – ProVia is getting state tax credit to create 400 jobs in Dover, but the details of the company’s project are still under wraps.

Gov. Mike DeWine and State Senator Al Landis on Tuesday announced a 10-year Job Creation Tax Credit for the building materials manufacturer. It calls for the creation of 400 full-time equivalent positions and the acquisition of a LEED-certified building. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a 1.796 percent, 10-year Job Creation Tax Credit for the project.

ProVia officials say more details will be shared in a press release on Thursday.

The facility would produce custom replacement windows and generate $27 million in new annual payroll by the end of 2030. Gunnoe says it would represent a $110 million private investment.

Gunnoe would not share any details about the project location.

This news comes as the Schaeffler facility in north Dover is still a work in progress after the company delayed its opening from 2026 to 2027. Schaeffler had intended to build a $230 million, 300,000-square-foot facility with 450 jobs to manufacture electric vehicle components. However, changes in the EV market delayed those plans.

FROM GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE:

ProVia Payroll LLC expects to create 400 full-time-equivalent positions, generating $27 million in new annual payroll by Dec. 31, 2030, as a result of the company’s project in the city of Dover (Tuscarawas County). ProVia is a manufacturer of exterior building materials focused on the residential market, including high-quality entry door systems, energy-efficient windows, super polymer vinyl siding, artfully-crafted manufactured stone, and stamp steel roofing. The proposed project entails the acquisition of a LEED-certified building to accommodate new production associated with strong market demand for high-quality custom replacement windows. TCA approved a 1.796 percent, 10-year Job Creation Tax Credit for the project.

FROM STATE SENATOR AL LANDIS:
COLUMBUS—State Senator Al Landis (R-Dover) is proud to see the creation of over 400 new jobs as a result of ProVia Payroll’s new project in Dover. This comes as a result of the Ohio Tax Credit Authority’s approval of tax credits for the project.

“New jobs means new opportunities for the people of the 31st Senate District,” said Senator Landis. “ProVia’s investment is a recognition that the future of Tuscarawas County and the state of Ohio is bright. I look forward to seeing the completion of this project and the positive effect it will have on the region.”
