Advanced metals manufacturer VulcanForms plans to build a new large-scale manufacturing facility in Devens, marking the company’s third plant in Massachusetts. The project is reported to carry a development cost of $1.3 billion and is intended to significantly expand VulcanForms’ production capabilities in the state.
The planned facility is expected to encompass approximately one million square feet of industrial space. According to information released about the project, VulcanForms anticipates that the development will create 1,063 jobs, more than doubling the company’s current Massachusetts-based employee base centered in Devens. The substantial job creation component positions the project as a major industrial employment driver for the local area.
To support the development, the Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council (EEAC) has approved a package of tax credits for VulcanForms. The incentive award totals $21.25 million in tax credits tied to the project. These state-level incentives are structured to help facilitate the build-out and long-term operation of the advanced manufacturing facility.
The new Devens plant is expected to produce components that serve a range of end markets. According to the EEAC, the facility’s output will span products used in the medical, aerospace and defense, industrial, and consumer goods industries. The broad industry reach reflects VulcanForms’ focus on advanced metal manufacturing technologies that can be applied across multiple sectors.
The Devens expansion follows a recent capital raise by VulcanForms aimed at scaling its integrated digital metal manufacturing platform. In January, the company announced that it had secured $220 million in Series D funding. The oversubscribed round was led by Eclipse and 1789 Capital, underscoring investor interest in the company’s technology and growth plans.
At the time of the Series D announcement, VulcanForms CEO Kevin Kassekert said the financing would enable the company to meet rising demand and expand its role as a key supplier to companies focusing on rebuilding resilient domestic supply chains. The planned Devens facility aligns with that strategy by adding substantial manufacturing capacity within Massachusetts.
Taken together, the new development, associated tax incentives, and recent equity raise illustrate how VulcanForms is combining public-sector support with private capital to scale its operations. For the Devens market, the project represents a major new industrial investment with long-term implications for employment and advanced manufacturing activity in the region.
