A Spain-based corporation is planning to open a new metal forming plant in Portage. Our partners at The Times of Northwest Indiana report Fagor Arrasate has signed a lease for over 6,700 square feet in the Ameriplex at the Port Business Park.
The company has customers in over 70 counties and plans to have the plant operational by the end of the year. Plans call for the plant to include a workshop and offices and for construction to start in April.
“The new Fagor Arrasate service plant will be operational by the end of 2020. The facility will include a workshop and offices and will complement the current Fagor Arrasate commercial and service structure,” Phil Conway, director-North America of Fagor Arrasate, told the publication. “The project seeks to strengthen the after-sales service, engineering, and spare parts inventory while solidifying relationships with customers in a market in which Fagor Arrasate has carried out numerous projects in recent years and whose demand is booming.”
Fagor Arrasate is the first tenant to move into the new Diversey Building on Prairie School Drive. The Holladay Properties development has nearly 53,000 square feet of space and will be home to other developments, including Polymer Logistics and Bass Pro Shops.
