Maintainer Corporation, headquartered in Sheldon, Iowa, has announced a two-fold plan to address the increasing demand for its products.
Maintainer offers a premium line-up of work trucks supporting construction, ag, railroad, municipal, mining, and heavy equipment sectors since 1976. It currently operates three facilities in Northwest Iowa.
The company will establish a new 11,000-square-foot vocational training center and showroom at its north plant campus, and facilitate a substantial 30,800 square-foot extension at its south plant location, which will double its manufacturing capacity.
According to Shelley Morris, President of Maintainer Corporation, both projects are scheduled to commence this spring with completion by the end of the year.
Morris said that the vocational training center will serve as a hub for employee development, onboarding, and comprehensive skills training across all production areas.
"The training center will play a pivotal role in equipping new employees with the necessary skills to advance their careers at Maintainer," explained Morris.
The center will also accommodate a company showroom, a merchandise area, and a multi-purpose space. Adjacent to the training center will be a dedicated manufacturing technology area, reflecting Maintainer's commitment to leveraging advanced manufacturing methods.
The expansion at the south plant will effectively double the existing manufacturing capacity and exemplify a significant milestone for the company. With a larger manufacturing capacity, the company is poised to better serve customers.
Addressing the surge in demand, Morris commented, "These expansions are vital to meeting the needs of our loyal, dedicated, and growing customer base."
Coinciding with the company’s expansion, Maintainer intends to hire approximately 60 new employees to fill a variety of production and support roles.
