Factory Expansion Positions Spika to Serve the Defense and Space Industry Faster
With an expanded facility, Montana based Spika Design & Manufacturing, Inc., which specializes in innovative work platforms and maintenance stands for complex safety access needs, bets on the brighter future of American manufacturing.
Lewistown, MT, November 08, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Spika Design & Manufacturing, Inc., today announced the completion of its factory expansion to increase its capacity for providing powder-coating finishes to the safety work platforms and maintenance stands it has been delivering to OEM’s and MRO worldwide, since 2001.
The factory expansion brings the facility close to 20,000 square feet. The expanded facility adds capacity with a new powder coating equipment and a 2-million BTU natural gas-fired industrial oven. The expansion idea came from the first cohort of an internal leadership training program at Spika in 2019. The added facility will bring an estimated 20% improvement in delivery times of Spika work platforms, making more untethered workers stay and feel safer at heights and cantilevers.
“At Spika, we pride ourselves on our culture of continuous improvement. It is one of our core values. When this expansion was strongly recommended through an internal team project, we decided to make the investment and stay committed despite the onset of the pandemic, because we anticipate strong growth in industries we serve, such as aerospace and advanced manufacturing,” says Katie Spika, Chief Executive Officer of Spika Design & Manufacturing, Inc. “The expansion also allows us to stay environmentally conscious while serving our customers better, faster and at a lower cost,” adds Spika.
