German company KraussMaffei recently launched operations at its new production plant in Martin, which saw the company double its capacity for manufacturing switch cabinets.
A statement issued by the company states that the new plant will assemble also injection molding presses and make parts for plastics-processing machinery. The company has had operations in Martin since 2005, and it sees the recent expansion as a way of increasing efficiency in dealing with the rising demand from Eastern Europe.
The new 71,000 square foot plant employs 120.
