The new Teardrop PolyMount is the latest design addition to S and W Manufacturing's PolyMount leveller product line.
The facility has expanded warehousing to stock more products for on-demand shipping and streamlined shipping and receiving spaces.
The facility frees up more factory floor space in the original two facilities to allow for automation of the manufacturing process for spring plungers and other products.
S and W has also added Swiss screw machines to allow for automated assembly for its in-demand products.
The original facilities, in the S and W family since 1978, will remain active working spaces, giving the growing company plenty of expansion room to meet customers' needs.
S and W President William Burr said he planned to offer expanded in-house training to help workers better meet customer needs.
Additionally, Burr said he planned to provide machine technology training to youth from the area to help feed a growing demand for skilled workers.
"S and W Manufacturing is growing due to customer demand for quality, American-made products", he said.
"We are thrilled and proud to meet demand by expanding our operations to have more space for warehousing and manufacturing, shipping, receiving and training".
