Buckeye Fabricating Company is partnering with Ferguson Construction to add more than 33,000 square feet of manufacturing space to the current 15,000 square feet, resulting in a more than tripling of capacity. In addition to the increased production area, new locker rooms and a new breakroom will be built for the employees, along with an expanded and remodeled office area.
This strategic move will allow Buckeye to service customers faster and to build pressure vessels weighing up to 80,000 pounds - a significant increase from the previous limitation of 20,000 pounds. The expansion has kicked off this week and is expected to be completed in 9 to 10 months.
“This expansion positions Buckeye for continued growth in the custom vessel industry for the next decade and beyond,” said Gerad Miller, President of Buckeye Fabricating. He continued, “We are thrilled about the opportunity to enhance our capabilities and expand our team.” As part of the LT Corporation, Inc. family of companies, Buckeye Fabricating is a piece of a larger network of vessel and steel manufacturing companies across the United States, reflecting the company’s commitment to diversification and strengthening its profile within the industry.
Investing in cutting-edge welding technologies will enable Buckeye Fabricating Company to meet increasing demands of its customers more efficiently. Over the next five years, Buckeye aims to bring on board up to 30 additional staff members, signaling its dedication to fostering a skilled workforce and strengthening the economic growth in the region.
