Flexicon Breaks Ground For Expanded Headquarters

President/CEO David Gill appears at Flexicon groundbreaking.

Flexicon Corporation broke ground for an expansion that will double the size of its US headquarters in Bethlehem, PA. The addition will allow the steel forming, welding, grinding/polishing and blasting/painting departments to double in size, and the electrical controls department to increase fourfold. The assembly department will be eight times larger and provide up to 38 feet (11.6 m) of overhead clearance to erect larger systems and enhance factory acceptance testing. Other plant floor increases include a dedicated 4000-square-foot (370 m2) area for new product development and a total of 10 tailgate loading docks and two drive-in doors. Office space will increase to 37,000 square feet (3400 m2).

In addition to manufacturing bulk handling equipment for the Americas, the Bethlehem headquarters oversees Flexicon operations located in the UK, Australia, South Africa, Chile and Singapore. A project engineering division manages large-scale bulk handling projects across the chemical, mineral, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
