Superior reach US production milestone
First item of equipment rolls off production line at newly expanded Arizona manufacturing plant
SUPERIOR Industries Inc., the US-based manufacturers and global suppliers of bulk material processing and handling systems, are celebrating a major production milestone, as the first piece of equipment recently rolled off the manufacturing line at the company’s newly expanded Arizona facility.
The extended plant now includes a third equipment production line, focusing on non-telescoping portable conveyors.
‘This means we can reserve the existing lines of production to be more product specific,’ commented Superior president, Jason Adams. ‘Most notably, it's really going to take stress off TeleStacker conveyor production in Arizona and allow us to produce more of these high-demand telescoping stackers.’
Along with the new line for non-telescoping portable conveyors, the Arizona facility also replicates a new idler manufacturing set-up launched in Minnesota earlier this year. This investment in machinery, robotics, and automation significantly increases the company’s conveyor idler throughput.
‘The headline says more manufacturing space out west, but this is going to have a positive effect on all of our operations and improve lead times across the board,’ said Mr Adams.
