The SprayWorks Group Combats Supply Chain and Material Shortages, Expands Facilities to Create their Own
Earlier this year, the SprayWorks Equipment Group, an industrial equipment supplier in Kent, Ohio, moved to a new facility that would increase its building size by almost 20,000 sq. ft. They hoped to combat supply chain-related issues associated with component and material shortages and inflation taking place around the world.
Decision-makers thought it was best to bring fabrication in-house to ensure the continuous flow of production overall. With this would come higher levels of efficiency, much faster turnaround times and a decreased cost of output and production-ready materials.
The chances SprayWorks would experience scarcity in supply materials lessens by creating these materials in-house, the company could find additional revenue streams for the company to secure in the foreseeable future.
“This has been a great achievement for SprayWorks. We now have the ability to design and fabricate automated systems all under one roof,” states Jeremy Davidson, head of production at the Kent facility.
