Groschopp Inc. Expands Iowa Facility

April 26, 2006
Groschopp, Inc. announced recently a 10% expansion of its Sioux Center, IA manufacturing plant. The company attributed the growth to increased demand for its fractional horsepower motors, gearmotors and reducers. "Most of our recent growth is and continues to be in complete motors and gearmotors,"said Jack Bradshaw, Groschopp manufacturing manager. "We have expanded our product lines significantly, and this additional capacity is necessary to keep pace with our rapid growth." The company has also enhanced its engineering and manufacturing capabilities, intending to provide integrated motion solutions for its customers. This was achieved through a reduction in suppliers and production steps, resulting in a cost-saving streamlining of its manufacturing process.
