Superior Industries, Inc., a US-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, says crews at its Arizona manufacturing facility recently celebrated the first piece of finished equipment to exit the newly expanded operations.
The expanded facility 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,” says Jason Adams, Superior’s president. “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 replicated a new idler manufacturing setup launched in Minnesota earlier this year. This investment in machinery, robotics, and automation significantly increases conveyor idler throughput company-wide.
“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,” says Adams.
