E-One announces $23.5M investment in manufacturing facility

E-ONE announced a $23.5M investment in its manufacturing facility that will expand the company’s aerial production capacity by 35% and is intended to reduce lead times for fire departments ordering critical equipment needed to help keep their communities safe. Key benefits of E-ONE’s facility expansion: Expanded production capabilities will enable E-ONE to increase aerial output by 35% while helping to reduce delivery timelines. The project includes expansion of the existing assembly, fabrication and paint facilities, as well as new construction to support ladder manufacturing and assembly operations. Doubling the size of paint operations will enhance production throughput, improve quality and increase overall efficiency. A dedicated ladder manufacturing facility will address current production constraints and support future capacity expansion. Construct a new, focused facility to allow increased assembly capability, flexibility, and line rate output within the aerial complex. Construction of a second test pit at the Ocala campus will eliminate a single point of failure and improve product flow across all E-ONE product lines.
