"The purpose of the expansion was to get all manufacturing in one place, which allows us to streamline our manufacturing processes and increase our capacity," said Don Laipple, CEO. "We are now fully operational and ready to meet the industry's growing demand for C&M Conveyor's products in the future."
The new executive office/engineering/design center in Bloomington represents a renewed emphasis on product development and enhancements, and adapting the company's existing designs to new applications, he added.
The building project is part of a major growth initiative that started nearly three years ago to add capacity and increase productivity in all areas of the company's operations.
C&M Conveyor is a leading supplier to the corrugated box industry, offering automatic chain transfer, strapper console, and moveable machine infeed and transfer car conveyors. C&M Conveyor also serves other industry segments and provides the folding carton industry with roll loading, mesh belt and stripping station conveyors, as well as dolly, release and catch conveyors.
