After making early investments in flexible foam equipment for plants in Arlington, Texas and Yakima, Washington, Excelsior is now focusing on a series of major expansion plans. These plans include the expansion of the plant in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and a large number of new production equipment to support the two departments. Other facilities in Rice Lake, Wisconsin; Florence, Alabama; and Norwalk, Ohio, will support the wood fiber and erosion control industries. The new automatic foam manufacturing facility Sheboygan in Norwalk, Ohio, West Chicago, Illinois, and Wisconsin will support the Flexible Foam division.
Terry Sadowski, President of Excelsior in the United States, said: "At the beginning of the new year, we have developed a radical growth plan. When the new crown pandemic hits, we know that these plans will have an impact. We think these plans It will definitely be delayed. However, we have accelerated our plans and moved forward by increasing manufacturing capacity and warehousing facilities. The terrible pandemic has caused some markets to grow while others are faltering, but we are fortunate to see many of our products Strong demand in the market. This has led us to increase operating and production resources."
"Although responding to the pandemic has caused huge losses to businesses and human lives, it is great to know that many of our products (such as those in the medical industry) have played an important role in the fight against COVID-19. Our success means our growth. It will help the construction and equipment manufacturing industries to hire other talents, create new opportunities for our existing employees, and add 25-30 new job opportunities."
This is the first phase of the company's growth plan, and more details will be released later this year. American Excelsior is committed to supporting American-made products and continuing its 132-year long history, and is proud of it.
