New Facility
After several years of substantial growth, Manifold & Phalor, Inc. is building a new facility. The new facility will be approximately 10 miles from our current facility and will substantially increase manufacturing space as well as maximum part weight. The new facility will allow handling of oversized parts weighing up to 50 tons with 23’ clearance under crane hook. Door openings of 16’ wide by 16’ high will permit shipping and receiving of virtually anything that can be moved over the roads. Expected completion of the facility will be during the summer of 2010.
Shown below is the ground breaking ceremony on November 25, 2009.
