(11/27/2007) ACH Foam Technologies Opens New Nevada Plant
MCCARRAN, NV—ACH Foam Technologies, the
leading provider of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) for construction,
architectural, geotechnical, packaging, and OEM applications; announced
today the opening of a new state-of-the-art plant in McCarran, Nevada.
The plant is located at 775 Waltham Way, Suite 105. McCarran, NV 89434.
Regional
Director of Manufacturing Operations, Andy Lineberry, was quoted as
saying, “To my knowledge, this facility is the only EPS operation in the
United States engineered and built from the ground up. The goal was to
build a state-of-the-art operation which allows for minimal waste and
maximum throughput. The building design, steam generation, support
systems, molding equipment, and cutting and packaging were all designed
with the most efficient layout and process flow possible. The finished
facility reflects the latest in EPS manufacturing trends and
technologies which, we believe, gives us an edge to continue to meet the
future needs of our industry in customer service and the ever
increasing demands for this product and its uses.
“The addition
of shape molding makes this operation a full service EPS manufacturing
facility and has allowed us to enter new markets while still maintaining
our core business. Our square footage increased by roughly one-third
and block molding capacity increased by more than 50%. This is a big
competitive edge in our market and we expect to see major strides in our
growth due to this concept.”
Erich Brandt, V.P. Industrial
Products, explains: “Along with our new McCarran block molding facility
we have installed new state of the art EPS shape molding equipment from
the Hirsch Corporation. This equipment will allow us the opportunity to
enter into the very competitive OEM, Packaging, and ICF (Insulated
Concrete Forms) markets in the western United States. This new equipment
affords us the ability to supply product of the highest quality at very
competitive prices,” said Brandt.
