Ebm‑papst has announced a significant expansion of its manufacturing and engineering facility in Farmington, Connecticut. The project (approximately $3 million) entails a 14,500-square-foot extension to the existing facility. Central is the revitalization of the Tooling Center, the division responsible for crafting equipment used in manufacturing at both locations in Connecticut and Tennessee. One pivotal enhancement includes upgrading the Tooling Center’s size and capabilities to better support ebm‑papst’s manufacturing needs. Additionally, a new drive-through dock will be constructed, designed to streamline material handling and truck circulation with convenient side-unloading capabilities, optimizing logistical efficiency. “The expanded Tooling Center – Mark Shiring, CEO Air Technology Americas, says – underscores our commitment to optimizing production processes and enhancing support for our North American operations. By localizing our tooling capabilities, we aim to boost efficiency and responsiveness while reducing reliance on external resources”.
