ARaymond Injects $12 Million into Logansport Plant Expanding US Footprint

Global leader in fastener and assembly systems, ARaymond, is doubling down on its US manufacturing presence with a significant $12 million investment in its Logansport, Indiana plant. This latest move follows a series of strategic investments across North America, showcasing ARaymond's commitment to bolstering its domestic production capabilities and solidifying its position in the region's dynamic industrial landscape.

The Logansport investment focuses on installing new pre-finish and coating lines, streamlining operations and enhancing its overall efficiency. This will not only increase output but also create a centralized hub for coating work, eliminating the need for multi-location processing and reducing administrative burdens.

This strategic move signifies ARaymond's confidence in the Logansport facility, recognizing its potential for driving growth and productivity within its North American network.

The Logansport injection is just one piece of ARaymond's larger North American expansion strategy. The company also invested $13 million in its Hamilton, Ontario plant in early 2023 to upgrade production equipment and expand manufacturing capacity for high-demand fastening products, catering to the growing automotive and industrial sectors in Canada.

The investment also included the creation of a dedicated engineering and development centre within the facility, fostering innovation and tailoring solutions for the specific needs of North American customers.

 Earlier in mid-2022, ARaymond invested $40 million in Monterrey, Mexico facility. This significant investment transformed the Monterrey plant into a regional hub for both the automotive and industrial divisions of ARaymond in North America. 

The investment which was targeting the expansion of production lines for critical components like clamps and brackets, serving major industries like automotive, heavy machinery, and construction was geared to help strengthen the company’s supply chain within the region by reducing lead times and enhancing responsiveness to customer demands.

Beyond physical expansion, ARaymond is also prioritizing R&D and sustainability efforts. The company has been undertaking several initiatives including investment in advanced assembly technologies where it is exploring automation and robotics solutions to enhance efficiency and worker safety. It is also developing lightweight and fuel-efficient fasteners to cater to the growing demand for environmentally conscious solutions in various industries.

These strategic investments across the continent paint a clear picture of a company that is firmly committed to its North American presence. By optimizing its existing facilities and expanding its regional production footprint, the company is positioning itself for sustained growth and success in the years to come.

They also solidify ARaymond's position as an industry leader not only in terms of size and reach but also in its commitment to technological innovation and environmental responsibility.
