Microtech Welding Corp., with operations in Warsaw and Fort Wayne, announced plans today to invest in its facility at 3601 Focus Drive in Fort Wayne. The 7,500 sq. ft. facility will be expanded to create an additional 4,400 sq. ft. of manufacturing space. The facility has reached full capacity and in order to keep up with customer demand, the company will expand its operations again.
“Our expansion will allow us to better serve our customers growing needs and keep us on the forefront of welding technology,” stated Robert Christman, CEO of Microtech Welding Corp.
The building expansion will allow Microtech Welding to make additional investments in equipment. The company plans to purchase a new CNC laser welder and work station. In total, the company’s $540,000 investment will require it to hire at least one additional welder bringing its total headcount to 19 people.
