When complete our facility will encompass a total area of over 70,000 square feet. Our current building size is 37,920 square feet, the new building will add 32,520 square feet to the building. The building will allow us to continue to add production capacity and improve customer support. Watch a video of how our first building was built.

The building is should be complete in October. But that's just the beginning. Over the next few years we'll continue to add additional production equipment and support capacity as needed, until this addition is filled!
What can I expect after the building is complete?
For now you can expect the same great products and service. Over time we'll be reorganizing administration and production to better serve you. We'll be adding more process ovens, surface preparation facilities, we'll be improving our inspection operations and adding service personnel. We're always improving our process!
