In addition to the new meeting area, Spectrum Metalcraft will also be expanding offices to the Northwest of the current facility. The new office area will feature a collaborative 7500 square feet of workspace.
In addition, new restroom facilities will also be added that will double as a severe weather shelter.
The renovations will also bring about an extensive streamlining of the manufacturing process at Spectrum Metalcraft. This will ensure a smoother flow of materials, from raw inputs to finished products. According to a Vortex release, the renovations aim to eliminate any bottlenecks in the production process, reduce waste and inefficiencies, and increase the rate at which finished goods are produced. By incorporating cutting-edge technology and leveraging data analytics, the company plans to optimize the use of resources, reduce lead times, and improve inventory management.
"Our goal is to create a state-of-the-art facility for our team members to foster efficiency, productivity, and innovation. This renovation will not only benefit our team but also our clients as we continue to provide high-quality products and services,” Young said.
Renovations are currently underway and are expected to take approximately 8-9 months, with an anticipated completion date in the third or fourth quarter of 2024. Spectrum Metalcraft is committed to minimizing any disruptions to their operations during this time and ensuring a smooth transition for their team members and clients.
With this expansion, Spectrum Metalcraft is positioned to sustain their growth and success in the metal fabrication industry while adding new career opportunities in the Salina community.
