A 50,000 square foot facility will house fabrication, plasma cutting, metal forming, painting and assembly operations with associated engineering design and support staff. The building is scheduled to be in production by the third quarter of 2008.
A large capacity, multi tasking CNC turning mill is the center piece of a capital investment in machine tools. Able to produce rotating components like knife revolvers, conveyor rollers and nip rolls in a third the time of conventional lathes, the turning mill will insure component quality, reduce costs and shorten delivery schedules. This purpose built machine tool is scheduled for a fourth quarter 2008 delivery.
Says Maxson’s President, Joseph Matthews, “With the market’s enthusiastic acceptance of our sheeter products over the past few years, we enter 2008 with a healthy backlog. Although international sales have become our fastest growing market segment, overall business has increased so significantly that we require additional floor space to service our growing customer base.” Matthews continues, “Investing in state-of-the-art machinery reduces manufacturing time and improves delivery schedules. It is part of our ongoing continuing commitment to the Industry to offer premier sheeting equipment at competitive prices. Working with the state government, we are training new employees and upgrading our existing staff to be flexible, competent in multiple skills, and educated in new technology thereby maintaining a lean work force.
