Burr Oak Tool Inc. held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new state-of-the-art assembly facility in Sturgis, MI, on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. The new facility will be located at Dresser Industrial Park in Sturgis, MI. Expected completion date is March 2014.
The multi-million dollar investment is expected to create approximately 50 new jobs immediately and additional employment opportunities over the next two to five years.
"The expansion is required to meet the growing worldwide demand for OAK designed machines, especially the new FP-1400 and FP-1000 fin lines and the Triumph hairpin bender," said a company spokesperson.
