AUBURN - Currier Plastics, Inc., a custom blow molding and injection-molding manufacturer, is "90 percent complete" with an expansion project that started back in October.
That's according to John Currier, company president, who spoke with The Central New York Business Journal on April 8.
"We are in the new manufacturing facility right now," Currier says, noting a warehouse addition is also finished.
Meanwhile, the expansion of the office area is about "50 percent" finished, he adds, noting he was speaking during the phone interview from temporary office space, which he'll vacate in a few weeks.
The project increases the firm's location from the previous 65,000 square feet to about 120,000 square feet.
Currier Plastics has added equipment annually for the past five years. So, the company "...just basically ran out of square footage," Currier says.
The man' facturer currently employs 100 full-time workers, and, with the expansion, hopes to add 50 additional full-time workers over the next three years, according to Currier.
Work on the $21 million project began last fall.
The total cost includes $8 million for improvements to the building and infrastructure and $13 million for new equipment purchases in the next three years.
