AmesburyTruthhas invested in a new facility in Sioux Falls, S.D. The newbuilding will be called a “center of excellence” and will enable the design, development, testing and manufacturing of door and window components.

“Building construction continues to see sustained recovery while the demand for windows and doors will likely accelerate over the next five years,” says Mike McCann, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “We are making a significant investment for the future of our business, and establishing centers of excellence throughout North America ensures AmesburyTruth will continue delivering innovative products to the window and door industry.”

The facility will offer cross-functional operations including human resources, engineering, manufacturing, information technology, product management, distribution, supply chain and customer service. It will also include research and development, tooling design, tooling development, 3-D printing, injection molding, stamping, assembly and kitting. A certified American Architectural Manufacturers Association test lab will be used “to ensure products meet design requirements at our newly designed center of excellence,” according to the company.

Construction is expected to start in May 2016 and is scheduled for completion by year’s end.
