A company providing industrial process control and automation in the heat treatment and combustion industry recently announced plans to relocate its U.S. headquarters from West Chester, Ohio to Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
United Process Controls (UPC) will complete the second phase of the company’s initiative to unify its US operations to one centralized location in December. Earlier this summer, UPC completed the first phase that saw its two Wisconsin facilities come together under a larger facility in Oak Creek, WI. At present, the 30,000-square-foot campus located in the southeastern corner of Milwaukee county accommodates the growing flow controls business and will provide additional manufacturing space for the company’s diverse product lines.
“This latest move is an exciting development for UPC and has been coming for a while, as the company has grown steadily over the past few years,” said Paul Oleszkiewicz, President of UPC. “With the acquisition of Atmosphere Engineering in 2017, we understood that moving all USA facilities to a new location was necessary to create operational synergy across our business units – heat treating controls, flow controls, and combustion optimization solutions. Sharing the same facility will bring more cross development and cross manufacturing opportunities, and this interactivity means that the latest products and systems are designed and delivered with better efficiency to our customers. Additionally, cross training will enhance the proficiency of our engineers, manufacturing and service technicians, building a greater team that can interact more effectively with our customers and sales network.”
“UPC operations in the USA have outgrown its current space,” said Pat Torok, VP Sales & Marketing. “The larger facility in Wisconsin allows for greater flexibility in inventory management and streamlined manufacturing and will house an expanded laboratory, as well as engineering, manufacturing, sales, and service personnel. The space at 6724 South 13th Street also has room to accommodate future growth for product development.”
