ENTEK Extruders: Major expansion of manufacturing facility
ENTEK Extruders announced that it is making a US$5.8 million investment into the expansion of it’s manufacturing capabilities.
‘We are investing over US$3 million in proprietary equipment for the production of screws, barrels, and extruders. In addition, we are in the planning phase to add 30-50% of manufacturing space’, says Larry Keith, President of ENTEK. ‘This is another step in our ongoing effort to provide the highest quality products at the lowest possible cost and do it with customer service that’s virtually unheard of in the industry.’ ENTEK has purchased 25 acres of land adjacent to its Lebanon, Oregon USA facility for the expansion.
ENTEK Extruders is a leading manufacturer of twin-screw, co-rotating extruders and OEM replacement parts for Leistritz®, W&P (Coperion) and Berstorff®. The company attributes its growth mainly to success with large project turnkey solutions and superior spare parts pricing. Another key factor is the on-site engineering services offered by ENTEK, including mechanical, controls, electrical, and chemical. ‘Sales are strong’, added Keith, ‘in fact, this will be our best year since we began business in 1984.’
In addition to its headquarters in Oregon, ENTEK currently has sales offices in North America and the United Kingdom, as well as manufacturer’s sales agents worldwide. National Plastics Expo attendees are invited to meet the ENTEK team at booth 7543.
