2017 ND Expansion

ND INDUSTRIES EXPANDS VIBRA-TITE AND CHEMICAL BLENDING OPERATIONS TO MEET GLOBAL DEMAND

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

What do you do when the global market increases demand? If you’re ND Industries, you remove constraints by investing in employees and infrastructure improvements to increase throughput.

Substantial sales growth in the bottled and pre-applied adhesive market for 2016 has created the need to expand production around the company. A new facility in Troy Michigan has been acquired and is currently under construction to become the new headquarters of Vibra-Tite bottled products; while next door ND’s chemical blending division is once again increasing it’s footprint and production capacity.

Continuous improvement is at the core of company operations, and that extends to the team it has assembled. Spearheaded by new management additions, process management changes are helping to make ND which is already highly regarded as customer focused, even more efficient and responsive.
