Sturtevant-based Spee-Dee Packaging Machinery Inc. is building a 10,000-square-foot expansion of the company’s corporate headquarters, located at 1360 Grandview Parkway.
“The significant sales growth Spee-Dee has experienced within the last several years necessitated the inclusion of the additional production space, as well as new investment in manufacturing equipment and an increase in the company’s workforce,” said James P. Navin, president of the company.
The expansion project is expected to be complete by late June. The new space will be primarily utilized for final system assembly and pre-shipment inspection. Spee-Dee recently installed additional CNC equipment that enables it to manufacture larger parts that were previously outsourced.
The company said it continues to recruit additional employees in the areas of assembly, engineering and service.
Spee-Dee is a manufacturer of equipment to measure and fill dry products into consumer size containers (bags, bottles, pouches, cans and cartons).
