A Connecticut producer of precision metal components plans to relocate its manufacturing operations to a significantly larger facility in Southington, Connecticut in early 2019.
Economy Spring, an MW Industries company, announced that this expansion is fueled by the rapid growth of Economy Spring’s coiled springs, wire forms, and product assemblies sold to customers in medical and pharmaceutical applications. The new 216,000 square foot facility will be over twice the footprint of the existing Southington facility. Equipment will be moved in various stages during 2018 and 2019 with no expected operational impact to customers.
The company manufactures a broad range of medical and pharmaceutical products such as but not limited to surgical staples, hypodermic needles, and implantable titanium products.
“Economy Spring’s growth means we need more space to meet future customer demand. By selecting a facility just a mile down the road, we expect complete retention of our committed, technical, and highly experienced workforce,” explained Tim Thompson, senior vice president and general manager of Economy Spring. “Our transition plans include building finished goods inventory and communicating closely with customers to ensure a seamless transition.”
