Business Wire
CLARCOR Inc. (NYSE: CLC) announced today that it will invest
approximately $28 million over the next three years to expand its
Baldwin manufacturing facility in Yankton, South Dakota and add
capacity to produce heavy-duty engine filters. This additional
capacity to support sales growth in the Americas and for export
should be fully operational before the end of 2012. Additional
equipment and capabilities will be added through 2014, and the
company anticipates hiring an additional 70 people as a result of
the expansion.
Norm Johnson, CLARCOR’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, “We expect our Baldwin business to continue to grow at
an impressive rate, and this expansion supports our position as the
leading supplier of heavy-duty engine filters to the aftermarket.
Being a global company, we obviously have many geographic options
when it comes to making investments of this type. At this point,
Yankton represents the most cost effective means of expansion to
satisfy our growing domestic and export demand. Going forward, we
certainly expect to make further investments in Asia, our fastest
growing market.
“We continue to forecast increased demand for high quality
heavy-duty engine filters, and we believe that adding
state-of-the-art equipment to a facility that has consistently
delivered world-class performance will allow us not only to
continue to supply exceptional products to our customers, but to do
so at the margins that our shareholders have come to expect. As our
nation strives to put more people to work, we are excited to be
creating jobs while still delivering exceptional value to our
customers and shareholders.”
CLARCOR is based in Franklin, Tennessee and is a diversified
marketer and manufacturer of mobile, industrial and environmental
filtration products and consumer and industrial packaging products
sold in domestic and international markets. Common shares of the
Company are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
CLC.
