On December 15, 2014, AFT broke ground on a 21,700 sqft. expansion to its existing 30,000 sqft. facility. This new addition will provide AFT with an additional 14,000 sqft. of warehouse space and 8,000 sqft. for a new related business, American Machining Technologies, LLC (AMT).
AMT will be a full service machining operation with 2 ea. CNC mills & 2 ea. CNC lathes. Plus a variety of other metal working & machining equipment. In addition to growing it’s outside machining business, AMT will continue to provide AFT the custom machined end caps & components that it requires for AFT’s fast growing hydraulic filter element business.
The additional warehouse space for AFT will allow it to relocate materials from its existing 30,000 sqft. manufacturing facility providing more manufacturing floor space that is needed to accommodate two new CNC filter media pleating machines & a media curing oven.
AFT hopes to move in May 1, 2015.
