Eriez Completes Plant Expansion
A major expansion provides space for manufacturing, R&D, aftermarket repair and a new Recycling Test Center for full-scale equipment demonstrations.

The additional 38,000 ft2 provides a new manufacturing bay with an R&D area, a new Recycling Test Center for full-scale equipment demonstration and evaluation, a new Electronics Lab and a doubling in size of the Aftermarket Repair Center.
