Superior celebrates expansion milestone
30 July 2024
The first piece of equipment has rolled off the production line at Superior Industries, Inc’s newly expanded manufacturing facility in Arizona.
Staff at the US-based company, a bulk material processing and handling equipment specialist, recently celebrated the production milestone, which saw a 1,220-mm RazerTail Truck Unloader with a Folding Discharge Conveyor leave the manufacturing line.
The expanded facility now includes a third equipment production line, focusing on non-telescoping portable conveyors.
Jason Adams, Superior’s president, said: “This means we can reserve the existing lines of production to be more product specific.
“Most notably, it’s really going to take stress off TeleStacker Conveyor production in Arizona and allow us to produce more of these high-demand telescoping stackers.”
Along with the new line for non-telescoping portable conveyors, the Arizona facility also replicated a new idler manufacturing setup launched in Minnesota earlier this year. T
This investment in machinery, robotics, and automation significantly increases conveyor idler throughput company-wide.
Jason said: “The headline says more manufacturing space out west, but this is going to have a positive effect on all of our operations and improve lead times across the board.”
