Creform Corporation, manufacturer of adaptive material handling systems, recently hosted a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony, reception and plant tour at its new sales, engineering and production facility.
The recently-held ceremony was attended by over 200 customers, suppliers and local dignitaries. The location in Georgetown, KY, puts Creform near its many large customers in the region and provides a pivotal location between its Greer, SC, headquarters and Novi, MI, Tech Center.
Special remarks and presentations were made by dignitaries including: Terry R. Gill, Secretary, Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development; city of Georgetown Mayor Tom Prather; and Judge Executive George Lusby, Scott County Fiscal Court. President of Creform Corporation, Atsuhiko Yazaki, made a special presentation.
During his presentation Yazaki thanked Scott County and the city of Georgetown for their welcoming of Creform. A key to the city of Georgetown was presented to Yazaki from Mayor Prather.
The 35,000 sq. ft. facility will house engineering, manufacturing, sales, administration and a showroom for its products. It will also provide room for demos and customer trials of its AGV product line. The new location was critical to the company's expanding AGV business in this geographic area and will allow the company to rapidly respond to customers.
This regional office will also provide fully assembled structures to customers in the region. It is anticipated that the location will eventually house approximately 30-50 associates in all phases of the operation.
According to Keith Soderlund, Vice President, Creform, "This new facility will strengthen our relationship with many of our large customers in the area and is a testament to our continued growth in markets that we serve."
