Bergkamp doubles office and manufacturing facilities
Salina, Kan.-based Bergkamp has doubled its office and manufacturing facilities to shorten lead times and increase staff capabilities within the pavement preservation industry. With the completion of the two-phase expansion, which required a more than $2 million investment, the company has nearly 80,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space.
With the new facilities, the company has the resources to better meet demand and support its slurry seal, micro surfacing and pothole patching customers, according to the company. “This first-class office and manufacturing facility expansion helps us continue to meet the rising demand for pavement preservation as it is becoming recognized more as an economical solution for many local, state and federal governments,” said Bergkamp President Scott Bergkamp in a statement. “The investment of the new manufacturing facility and equipment helps us shorten lead times for parts and new equipment by streamlining the overall process. The entire expansion allows us to increase our engineering, manufacturing and sales staff as needed to maintain the personal service, support and quality that pavement preservation professionals require.”
Last year, Bergkamp completed the first phase of the expansion by doubling its office space to 4,150 square feet. The company now has the office space available to add staff as needed. The second phase of the expansion involved the construction of an additional manufacturing facility — adjacent to the original building — increasing Bergkamp’s manufacturing space to 75,000 square feet. The original facility now contains expanded assembly, paint and parts operations, and the new facility houses fabrication and welding with $250,000 in new equipment, including a CNC lathe and a second CNC mill.
