Multiquip Welcomes Idaho Governor, Executive Team For Facility Tour
Multiquip, Carson, CA, recently welcomed Idaho Governor C. L. “Butch” Otter and his executive team for a tour of its Boise, ID, facility.
Multiquip designs, engineers and manufactures many of its core products at this 160,000-square-foot plant, which is a central component of its new product development and long-term growth strategy. As the market for construction equipment continues to strengthen, Multiquip is investing millions of dollars into expanding its manufacturing capabilities, the company says.
Governor Otter and his executive team toured the manufacturing plant and viewed many recent capital investments made by Multiquip, including a state-of-the art laser cutting machine with automated material handling capability as well as new lathes and milling equipment. The company also plans to add dual-head robotic welders during the first quarter of 2015.
At the conclusion of his visit, a luncheon was held allowing the governor time to meet with his constituents and field questions regarding his economic policies and plans for growth. The governor’s executive team also met separately with Multiquip senior management to discuss ways of working together and developing creative methods to grow business in Idaho. 800.421.1244, multiquip.com
