American Baler Company, a manufacturer of balers, announced an expansion project at its Bellevue, Ohio facility. The project commenced on April 22, 2024, and is expected to be completed by the fall of 2025. Coinciding with American Baler’s 80th anniversary, the expansion project will increase the manufacturing footprint by 20 percent through the addition of a strategic wing to the existing facility.
The expansion will not only increase the physical size of the facility but also improve American Baler’s ability to serve its employees and customers with innovation, safety, quality, and efficiency improvements. It will increase capacity for fabrication, production, and assembly with an eye on the reduction of equipment and parts lead times. The project will be carried out in three phases. The initial phase will include site and utility preparation, construction of the new addition, and installation of overhead cranes. Subsequent phases will include the installation of state-of-the-art steel processing equipment along with workflow enhancements.
