A startup aluminum anodizing company has announced plans to build its premier location in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to serve the automotive, construction, boating, and industrial markets in the Midwest region. The facility will house 32 ft tanks to accommodate aluminum parts up to 30 ft in length.
Northern Indiana Anodize will invest nearly $7 million to build the facility with construction beginning on the 47,000-square-foot facility in August and be complete in March 2019.
“With the economy growing, we’re seeing companies changing from steel parts to aluminum for weight and performance purposes,” said Bruce Fogler, chief financial officer at NIA. “We know there’s a high demand for anodizing providers and a shortage of large-tank anodizing facilities, so we’re starting this company to provide high-quality services in a growing industry.”
