“Although we incorporated the existing facility into our expansion, it’s like working in a brand new plant,” said Michael Monaghan, general manager of Superior’s operations in Nebraska. “We integrated the best principals of lean manufacturing and were able to achieve a straight line process. Product comes in as raw steel at one end and exit one of the two lines as finished, ready-to-ship equipment.”
In addition, the 44-year-old company doubled the engineering staff dedicated to developing the screens, washers and portable plants manufactured and shipped from Nebraska. “As our industry optimistically looks to the future, we are excited to expand our product offering to support the growth,” said Vice President of Sales John Garrison. “Best of all, the growth and development of our products and people is happening right here in the United States.”
