Expansion within an established plant
The original facility opened in 2023 with approximately 285,000 square feet and was designed for potential growth to 400,000 square feet. The latest announcement concerns a production line; it does not confirm that the full potential building expansion has been constructed.
The investment adds manufacturing capability to an existing operation, rather than announcing a separate greenfield campus.
