Camso recently celebrated its new manufacturing facility in Peosta, Iowa with its employees, family, members of the community, customers, partners, and the media.
The new building features and expansive 240,000 sqf layout, and guests were able to watch the assembly process of track systems and meet the makers of the undercarriage products.
The new assembly facility has been in operation since October 2017. All existing machinery and operations were moved from the company’s previous Peosta location within 4 months with no impact on product delivery to customers.
“This is an achievement we’re proud of,” said Patrick Fortin, Plant Director of Peosta.
“The move was done in such a way that we maintained all of Camso’s regular product availability, thus showing our constant commitment to being the best partner for our customers.”
Moving all operations to a larger building across the street has grown the rubber track company’s manufacturing and storage scope by 85%, allowing the company to increase its production capacity.
“To meet the growing demand for track systems and sustain the anticipated growth of the upcoming years, relocation was necessary,” said Fortin. With an increased production capacity, Camso will have more products on hand and be in a better position to solidify its market leadership.
The move was also in line with Camso’s decision to provide its team with a working environment of choice. The offices and cafeteria were built in the spirit of Camso’s brand identity, and assembly operations received a new paint line and additional equipment and machinery. The footprint expansion and growing demand for tracks systems also create new job opportunities for the local workforce, with several positions to be opened in the near future.
