Flexicon Expands at World HQ

Flexicon Corp. has expanded manufacturing space at its global headquarters in Bethlehem, Pa. by 50,000 ft² to meet increased demand for its bulk- handling equipment and systems.

The new space is slated primarily for warehousing of sub-assemblies, crating, and staging of assembled equipment. This includes stocking of Quick-Ship models of flexible screw conveyors, bulk-bag dischargers and bulk-bag conditioners for immediate shipment, freeing the main facility for increased capacity in fabrication and assembly.

Founded in 1974 in Fairfield, N.J., Flexicon purchased its first manufacturing plant in Lodi, N.J. in 1978, expanded five-fold with the purchase of a plant in Phillipsburg, N.J. in 1988, and added a satellite plant in Easton, PA in 1995. U.S. operations were then consolidated and further expanded with construction of the company's world headquarters in Bethlehem, PA in 2001.
