The building, spanning 2323sqm, offers a new surface-mount technology (SMT) line and increased warehouse storage capacity. It also provides dedicated spaces for prototyping, additive manufacturing and assembly.
The upgraded facility allows it to better meet demand for 3D tracking solutions as well as shorten lead times for customers worldwide. Furthermore, it will also create new jobs and bolster its on-site research and development efforts.
Stephanie Hines, executive vice president said, “Our new facility delivers everything we need in one building, giving us more control over the entire manufacturing. This spans research, conception and assembly to better and more quickly meet customer needs.”
“In addition to building more products faster, we’ll be able to introduce new innovations and better support custom capabilities,” added Marc Alley, vice president of operations.
