ATEK Metal Technologies, a permanent mold foundry, is expanding its plant and technical capabilities to keep up with growing demand. "ATEK ships thousands of aluminum castings each day and has recently completed a significant expansion of its metal casting, heat treatment and finished machining capabilities," said a company spokesperson.
"We added 40% to our low pressure permanent mold casting capacity to keep up with our accelerating growth," said Tom Christie, President of ATEK Metal Technologies. "We also have added state-of-the-art precision machining capabilities to be able to provide our customers with cast and machined finished components."
As part of the expansion, ATEK has improved its plant automation program with an investment in robotic de-gating and deburring of castings.
"We are applying automation where it makes sense for the safety of our people and to provide the best value possible for our customers," said Christie.
"ATEK is also planning a major building expansion to be completed in December of 2018."
"We need additional plant space to support growth," said Christie. "The new building will allow us to consolidate our warehousing and shipping areas and make room on the plant floor for ongoing expansion of operations."
"Our long-term relationships speak for our commitment to service, responsiveness, solving problems, creating opportunities and achieving excellence for our partners that is unmatched in the industry," added Christie. "These strategic investments are key enablers for us to continue to meet and exceed customer expectations."
The entire plant expansion is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018.
