Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT), a North American automation engineering company, has announced the opening of a second manufacturing facility near the company’s Michigan headquarters.
The new facility is designed to support collaboration and industry innovations for the company’s industrial automation and robotic solutions.
“Thanks to a year of unprecedented growth, AMT has had the opportunity to invest in our future by nearly doubling our production area,” said Michael Jacobs, founder and CEO of Applied Manufacturing Technologies.
“We have thoughtfully designed the new facility at 250 Kay Industrial Drive to complement the existing production capabilities at our headquarters, allowing us to better meet the needs of our clients.”
The new facility, located in Orion, Michigan, is across the street from the company’s current headquarters.
This expansion will reportedly almost double production square footage, bringing the total for both facilities to more than 51,000ft² (4,738m²).
The company reports that the new site is fully conditioned and fire-suppressed, offers 23ft (7m) of vertical clearance, high-quality electrical utilities, sustainable LED lighting and is equipped with a five-ton overhead crane.
What’s more, AMT claims its solutions have benefited manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, medical, alternative energy, fabricated metal, industrial machinery, rubber and plastics, food and beverage industries, among others.
