A new company hopes to one day have 200 people working at its plant on the east side of Buffalo.

Viridi Parente specializes in the manufacturing of renewable energy-based engines and power trains for heavy machinery and storage applications.

Viridi hosted a tour of its operations Wednesday inside the former American Axle Facility on East Delavan. The company is the latest to house its operations inside the sprawling complex.
