(Plastics Today) -- Cascade
Engineering's (Grand Rapids, MI) CK Technologies LLC (CKT) unit will invest $20
million in a new manufacturing facility in Brownsville, TX that will offer
large-part injection molding for interior, exterior, and
functional under-the-hood assemblies. A CKT spokesperson told PlasticsToday that
the new plant, which is expected to create 121 jobs in 2011, will occupy a
1-million-ft2 former Titan Tire building and begin operations in the second
quarter.
In addition to assembly equipment for secondary operations and chrome
electroplating and painting in later phases, the operation will begin work with
eight large-tonnage injection molding machines, ranging in clamp force from
2200-4400 tons, with an even larger press a possibility down the line.
