BACE Expands Manufacturing Operations

BACE (Baler and Compaction Equipment), a Charlottem N.C.-based manufacturer of balers, has added 26,000-square feet of manufacturing space to support its growth. The expansion was completed in late December 2011.

“With the addition of this space, our Charlotte facility has over 56,000 square feet of manufacturing space,” says Frederick Waite, chairman of BACE. “While some manufacturers are reducing space, eliminating employees and taking a reactive approach to the current economic conditions, BACE feels fortunate to have added large retail customers, grocery stores and additional distributors to our customer base. We believe their decision to join our family of customers is a testament to both our market-leading best price initiative and our unequaled commitment to customer service.”

Matt Hatfield, president of BACE, says the expansion was in response to strong year-over-year sales in the company’s equipment sales. “This additional space will support our global growth plans and is expected to generate significant manufacturing efficiencies by improving production capability, flexibility and flow of operations,” Hatfield says. “We believe this continued focus on our operating costs will allow BACE to further distinguish itself from the competition.”
