Vortex is planning to increase its plant size by about 50 percent this year. The expansion, which will be about 64,000 sq. ft., will make the company’s headquarters in Salina, Kan., about 185,000 total sq. ft. Salina President and CEO Jeff Thompson says he expects construction to begin in April and to be completed by the end of the year.
The expansion will add about 48,000 sq. ft. of production space and 16,000 sq. ft. for offices and conference rooms. Vortex built and occupied its existing headquarters at the end of 2006.
