Follow on Google News | Arrowhead Conveyor adds production capacity with a second facilityThe company announced on Tuesday that due to growing production volumes, they are leasing 25,000 square feet of production space at the manufacturing plant located at 3972 Fond du Lac Road in Oshkosh.
By: Arrowhead Conveyor Corp Arrowhead Conveyor will primarily use the additional square footage for assembling their conveyor and equipment. According to Tim Krueger, the company’s Vice President/General Manager, “We have outgrown our Medalist Road facility. This fact has become especially apparent with the boom in overseas can manufacturing.” In addition, Krueger commented that the newly-leased space will open the possibility of assembling robotic systems which are sold by Arrowhead Conveyor’s sister company, Trillium Automation based in Kimball Township, Mich. In some respects, Arrowhead Conveyor is returning to its roots by expanding operations to the Fond du Lac Road facility. In 1965, the company’s founder, James Steiner, moved Arrowhead Conveyor from the garage of his home to the garage of a former City Service gas station located on the Fond du Lac Road site. The company operated at that location and added to the building several times before constructing their manufacturing plant at 3255 Medalist Road in 1974. With Arrowhead Conveyor’s expanded production capacity comes an increased demand for employees. According to Krueger, “We currently have between 10-20 openings for production workers, and the need for additional employees will increase as we begin operating our newly-leased space.” A list of current job postings can be found on the “careers” section of the company’s website: ArrowheadSystems.com.
