Wendt Corp. Acquires Facility Near Buffalo, N.Y.

Wendt Corp., based in Tonawanda, N.Y. has acquired an additional facility near Buffalo, N.Y. The 149,000-square-foot facility will house all of Wendt’s manufacturing functions that are used in building its automobile shredders and nonferrous separation plants.

With the rapid growth that the company has experienced during the past several years, Wendt says additional floor space and increased overhead crane capacity are required to support the volume and scale its manufacturing activities. Wendt adds that the increased capacity will allow it to handle all of its current manufacturing and provide additional internal capacity for manufacturing functions that are currently subcontracted outside of Western New York.

“Due to the performance of our automobile shredding and non ferrous separation plants, we have experienced significant growth,” says company President Tom Wendt. “As a result of our success, we needed a new building that could handle all of our manufacturing. Our existing building will be used for a complete test center for our customers, as well as house our expanding engineering and sales departments.”

Improvements and renovations have already begun, and Wendt expects to begin moving into the new facility by the end of the year.
