Success of Shear Refurbishing Prompts Latest Genesis Expansion

The success of Genesis Attachments’ mobile shear reconditioning and blade replacement programs fueled by a continued-strong scrap market has prompted the latest expansion of the company’s manufacturing facility.

The expansion, in which Genesis added more than 9,000 square feet of plant area, is the third in the company’s 10-year history and brings the total plant/office area to more than 46,000 square feet.

To a large degree, the newest addition to the Wis.-based plant reflects the success the shear reconditioning program has enjoyed since its inception four years ago, according to the company.

“In the past, the shear refurbishing unit was forced to co-exist with general manufacturing, at times putting a strain on each,” says Bruce Bacon, Genesis vice president and general manager. “The additional space, which will not only ease that strain but also enhance and streamline the reconditioning effort as a whole, is timely as well.”

Bacon adds, “To date, more than 500 competitive shears have been refurbished and we see no signs of that slowing down. In addition, as some of our own shears approach the 10-years-in-service mark, we anticipate seeing some Genesis shears added to the mix.”

The balance of the 9,000-square-foot expansion will be dedicated to the Genesis’ parts department, bringing its total area to about 10,000 square feet.
