Deceuninck North America has recently celebrated the opening of its new plant in Fernley, about 40 miles east of Reno.
The $20 million, 150,000-square-foot facility, which sits on a 28-acre site, can accommodate up to 24 extrusion lines and includes manufacturing support, offices and a warehouse. It’s currently up and running with six extrusion lines and about 35 employees.
The plant features a streamlined manufacturing flow, from the two railroad spurs serving the location to the movement of materials through the facility and shipment of the finished product. It’s also built to accommodate future growth.
The facility was constructed in only seven months.
“Our western expansion creates the potential for significant growth and reinforces Deceuninck’s commitment to existing customers in the West and further meets the need for window systems, profiles and tools designed for the western market and climate,” said Filip Geeraert, president and CEO of Deceuninck North America, which is headquartered in Monroe, Ohio. “We are honored to celebrate the grand opening of our Fernley plant with our valued customers, fabricators, Reno-area officials and the international business community.”
