Eleven million dollar investment
Interroll doubles production capacity in Atlanta
Interroll announces the establishment of additional capacities in the United States of America. In Hiram near Atlanta, Georgia, another plant is being built next to the existing one. The company is investing a total of around eleven million US dollars in this expansion, and the second factory is expected to be completed by the end of 2019.
In the Americas region, Interroll continues to see strong project activity, with double-digit sales growth in 2018. At the same time, the company is introducing innovative solutions at a remarkable pace to meet the ever-changing demands of the market. Key business trends such as the increasing automation of warehouses and airports as well as the rise of e-commerce support this positive outlook.
"We are seeing continued high demand for Interroll solutions in the Americas," says Richard Keely, Executive Vice President of the Americas. "For this reason, we are preparing to ensure fast delivery times for our customers and end users in the coming years by expanding our capacity."
The planned investment volume will amount to around USD 11 million (around CHF 10.9 million). The project adds 121,500 square feet (approximately 11,300 square meters) of space, of which 15,000 square feet (approximately 1,400 square meters) will be used as office space. "Our expanded capacity will allow us to further develop our lean and agile production and increase the level of automation in our factories," says Keely.
