American Colors Inc. (Sandusky, Ohio, U.S.), a supplier of colorants and outsource manufacturer for the CASE, composites, vinyl and agricultural markets, has announced plans to expand its facility in Sandusky, with a 12,500-square-foot manufacturing addition. Construction will commence in summer 2022 with completion in the fall of 2022.
According to Patrick Militello, vice president of CASE, “the culture at American Colors has always been customer centric and the decision to expand our Sandusky facility is a commitment to support the needs
of our customers and continue to provide the level of service that our customers expect from us.”
This addition is the first phase in a long-term plan to enable the company to purchase and install larger mixers and material handling equipment, greatly expanding overall capacity of the location as well as reorganizing the existing footprint to increase capacity and improve efficiency. The company is also
planning to build a cleanroom within the new building which will reportedly aid in American Colors’ expansion into new markets.
“We continue to have success in our core markets” Matthew Kosior, president of American Colors, admits. “This investment, coupled with our capabilities across our other plants around the world, reinforces our commitment to support our customers not only for today’s needs, but future needs as
well.”
American Colors, Inc. has four locations in the U.S. and manufacturing facilities in Shanghai, PRC, and Bergamo, Italy.
