Atlas Engineered Products ("AEP") installs a fully automated Roller Gantry, customized cutter saw and expanded pressing system at its Satellite Building Components ("Satellite") facility in Merrickville, Ontario, Canada, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
"This type of automated equipment ensures we can keep up with the extra supply demands we’re experiencing in this market," explained AEP CEO, Dirk Maritz. "Large mounted display screens eliminate the use of paper and extra travel in the shop, and our overall production speed increases significantly."
"In addition to expanding our capacity, this installation allows us to offer more product lines," said Executive VP and AEP founder, Hadi Abassi. "Our partnerships with clients continue to grow as we move towards a turn-key construction project solutions model for Satellite, and for all our current and future locations."
The new 14’ x 60’ Roller Gantry increases assembly by as much as 60%, while the linear feed custom cutter saw more than doubles cutting capacity. The new 8’ x 30’ Auto 8 Pressing System has allowed for the introduction of 4’ x 2’ floor trusses to Satellite’s product mix.
Satellite specializes in designing and supplying roof trusses and engineered floor joists throughout Eastern Ontario.
Atlas Engineered Products Ltd. is a newly listed growth company, that is acquiring and operating profitable, well-established operations in Canada’s truss and engineered products industry.
