Superior Industries expanded its manufacturing plant in Columbus, Neb.
The expansion will create more space for the company to build its newly launched Guardian horizontal screens and portable processing plants for crushing, screening, washing and feeding. The company already manufactures wet processing equipment at the Nebraska plant.
“Although we incorporated the existing facility into our expansion, it’s like working in a brand-new plant,” says Michael Monaghan, general manager of Superior’s operations in Nebraska. “We integrated the best principals of lean manufacturing and were able to achieve a straight-line process.”
Additionally, Superior says it doubled its engineering staff dedicated to developing the screens, washers and portable plants manufactured and shipped from Nebraska.
