Expansion, it seems, is rmly on the mind of
companies featuring in this issue of
EuroWire
.
Axjo America is investing $11m and creating 14
new jobs by consolidating two facilities into one
143,000ft
2
factory in Conover, North Carolina,
USA. The company has been working closely
with Conover’s mayor and at the Catawba County
Economic Development Corporation for a number
of months to make the move happen. Full details
can be found on page 10.
Also opening up on new fronts is Kabelschlepp
with the reopening of its enlarged facility in
Slovakia.
The premises has been enlarged to about 19,000m
2
and the production facility, including storage
capacity, has been increased by nearly 4,000m
2
.
Additional jobs will be added to the already
200-strong workforce as part of the expansion.
The full story can be found on page 15.
An increase in production has seen Tulsa Power
and Reel-O-Matic move into new larger premises in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA.
Joining forces at the new 100,000ft
2
building will
allow the new company increased manufacturing
oor space, along with improved work ow and
production capabilities. You can read all about it on
page 16.
There’s also a reason for MetroWire to hold its head
high in this issue, as the company celebrates its
40
th
anniversary in the wire and cable industry.
The multichannel wire and cable distributor’s
president, Donald D Ezop, said: “It is hard to believe
that it has been 40 years when you work alongside
great employees, customers and vendors, all the
while having fun.” Full details are on page 20.
Davis-Standard
also
had reason to lay
out the red carpet
with a factory visit
for
Joe
Courtney,
US congressman for
Connecticut’s Second
District. Full story on
page 21.
