dormakaba continues to increase its presence in North America, this time in Phoenix.
Months after expanding its headquarters in Indianapolis, the access control solutions company, doubled its manufacturing capabilities in Phoenix by moving into a new facility, which it calls the “Americas Hollow Metal Center of Excellence.”
The 100,000-square-foot facility allows for what dormakaba calls “connected, innovative and efficient hollow metal manufacturing.” The company will produce door frames including hollow metal, elevation, corner and arch top, and lock seam, seamless-edge, slope-top and arch-top doors at its Phoenix facility. Full production began in January 2020.
“Investing in this facility, and the Phoenix community in general, was an easy decision for us,” says Michael Kincaid, COO. “We have a strong and resilient workforce here. Being the trusted leader in smart access solutions starts with the best people, and that is why we are investing in Phoenix.”
In addition, dormakaba says, the new facility:
- Expands capacity to support growth and lead times
- Improves customer service and confirms consistent quality standards
- Extends fabrication capabilities
- Uses new manufacturing systems to improve sustainability
