Superior to expand Arizona manufacturing facility

Superior Industries is expanding its facility in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

The company says it will add a fourth production line to manufacture equipment used in the aggregate and metal mining industries.

“Our dealers in the region are growing rapidly and we need to increase production space so they can continue supporting their customers,” says Jason Adams, president of Superior. “This isn’t possible without the hard work of Kimball Equipment Co. or Power Equipment Co., and we definitely owe this to them.”

Superior says the expansion – expected to break ground later this year ­– will increase the size of the existing facility by 33 percent. The expansion will allow for the production of more conveyors, portable processing plants and pre-engineered modular systems, which are all already being manufactured at the facility.

“Our core purpose is building innovation that creates opportunity,” Adams says. “This new space will allow us to employ more people, help our dealers grow and supply more American-made products to the region’s stone, sand and gravel companies.”

The Prescott Valley location was Superior’s first satellite manufacturing operation outside of its headquarters in Morris, Minnesota, opening in 2006. Today, the plant employs 135 people. The expansion will allow for the creation of about 25 new jobs, Superior says.
