We Know Richmond’s Manufacturing Recruiting Needs
Manufacturing is thriving in Richmond, with recent hiring trends outpacing the national average. Local companies are going to need fresh talent to keep up with demand, and TYGES has the experience, network, and refined recruiting methods to source the best of the best.
One of the reasons Richmond manufacturers trust us with their most crucial recruiting needs is because of our familiarity with the industries that are most important to this region. These include:
Food Equipment Manufacturing
Richmond is home to a strong base of companies that design and build equipment for food production and packaging. Local expertise in mechanical engineering, stainless-steel fabrication, and industrial automation supports the development of bakery systems, bottling lines, and other food-processing equipment used nationwide. Meadowville Technology Park in Chesterfield County is a key hub for large-scale manufacturing and automation operations, including food-related production.
With deep experience recruiting in this sector, TYGES understands the leadership and technical skills required to streamline operations, ensure food-grade compliance, and maintain operational excellence.
Food & Beverage Processing
Richmond continues to expand as a food production and logistics center, with especially active areas in Meadowville and Colonial Heights. Facilities like the Sabra Dipping Co. plant operate alongside distribution and packaging partners, drawing on a strong local workforce experienced in sanitary operations and quality assurance. TYGES recruits across this ecosystem, helping processors and suppliers find high-performing candidates who can adapt quickly to fast-paced production operations.
Plastics & Polymers
The Bermuda Hundred and Rivers Bend area of Chesterfield anchors one of the region’s key industrial zones for advanced materials and polymer production. The area includes major sites producing nylon resins, performance fibers, and specialty polymers used in packaging and protective materials worldwide. Extending toward Hopewell, this corridor reflects the region’s long-standing expertise in large-scale chemical processing. With a deep understanding of this sector, TYGES recruits leaders and technical experts who can manage complex operations and drive performance in demanding production environments.
Industrial, Process & Electrical Equipment
Greater Richmond supports a diverse base of manufacturers that design and produce industrial, process, and electrical equipment. Activity is concentrated in established hubs such as Chesterfield, Henrico, and Hanover counties, where companies supply automation systems, power distribution components, and process solutions used in sectors from energy to water treatment. The region’s footprint extends south through Prince George County and the Crosspointe Logistics Center, reflecting ongoing investment in advanced manufacturing and engineered products.
With deep experience recruiting in these technical disciplines, TYGES connects organizations with leaders who can strengthen operations and deliver measurable results.
Agricultural Manufacturing & Inputs
Local communities like Hopewell and Chesterfield host major producers of agricultural inputs such as ammonium sulfate and caprolactam, essential to polymer and fertilizer supply chains. This integration between agriculture and advanced materials strengthens Richmond’s manufacturing reach overall.
