A groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 4th, 2016 to celebrate the development of a new manufacturing site for Spray Dynamics.
The new facility will be located in Union, Missouri USA, and will initially employ 50-60 personnel with the ability to expand to over 100 employees in years to come. The building will be located on a 13.32-acre green field site and the total manufacturing and office areas will be approximately 103,000 square foot. The project has been engineered by Washington Engineering & Architecture Inc. and is expected to be completed by third quarter 2017.
Heat and Control acquired Spray Dynamics in 2011 and the last five years has seen significant global growth in demand for coating seasoning and flavoring application solutions. Spray Dynamics has brought to the Heat and Control catalogue, the industry’s best in class engineering and manufacturing solutions for controlled application of liquid and dry ingredients.
This new facility will offer the latest in manufacturing capability, modern office and engineering space, product testing rooms and also allows for future site development.
