HBC-radiomatic Inc. Expands Hebron, Ky. Facility
> HBC-radiomatic Inc. has completed a landmark expansion project that has added
WIRE ROPE EXCHANGE
an additional 13,000 sq. ft. of floor-space to its Hebron, Kentucky facility. The remote control manufacturer held an invitation-only open house event on September 20 to mark the occasion. The event revolved around a presentation
by the General Management of Germany- headquartered HBC-radiomatic GmbH, who reflected on over 70 years of company history, including the progression of the U.S. subsidiary over its 21 years in the Cincinnati area. Jeff Allan, CEO of HBC-radiomatic Inc.,
said: “As the market demand for HBC’s radio controls has continued to strengthen, the primary purpose of our expansion was always to improve the responsiveness and flexibility for the growing needs of our valued partners and users. And while the construction program created some natural disruptions to the company’s operations, the Hebron team applied a tremendous amount of extra time and effort to reduce those effects on our customers. Today, we are completely focused on optimizing local production, expanding technical support and services, and now have the infrastructure and resources to support these goals.” The expansion provides the warehousing
and operational space to more than double the throughput from each of the company’s key departments, and HBC is in the process of completing the deployment of several additional service / repair islands and system assembly / production islands. Allan noted that these are planned to become fully operational by the end of the year. Furthermore, a new product showroom is being built for customers to get hands-on experience with the manufacturer’s extensive product line, which will be ready for the open house event. Allan added: “As we have significantly
increased domestic assembly and as there are no signs of this activity slowing, the expansion also provides truck dock facilities for easy loading / unloading of volume, palletized parts and system shipments.
