American Punch Begins Construction on Major Plant Expansion
September 1, 2017
American Punch Company has begun construction on a major plant expansion that will nearly double the size of its production facility and significantly increase its manufacturing capabilities. The new addition to the existing facility will add 23,000 sq. ft. of plant space and 1,000 sq. ft. of office space. Two 80-ton air conditioning units are being installed to cool both the new addition as well as the existing plant.
To sustain its efforts to be environmentally friendly, American Punch has opted to install 800 solar panels on the roof of the new building that, over the next 25 years, will produce over 7 million kW of electricity. This will result in reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by over 11 million pounds, equal to taking about 65 cars off the road for each of the next 25 years.
"We have worked for several years to design and plan this building and the additional new equipment to meet our manufacturing demands well into the future," said Bob Olson, President of American Punch. "We will be positioned to meet our customers' increasing need for high quality tooling, delivered sooner, particularly precision tooling and engineered, made-to-order components. With all of the new cutting-edge technology in today's equipment that will be housed in the new addition, we will have a world-class operation ready to manufacture any tooling our customers may need."
The American Punch Company is a manufacturer of punches, dies and shear blades used in the structural steel and metal fabricating industries. In addition, American Punch supplies precision tooling to the stamping, roll forming and metalforming industries.
