E-Z Drill Expands Factory, Production Capacity
E-Z Drill’s factory expansion will add more than 7,500 sq. ft. of space - about a 20 percent increase - and will include office space and room for its growing welding department.The project began in June with setting the concrete foundation and is projected for completion by early fall 2015.
“The new addition will streamline production by expanding our welding area, giving us room for additional workers and providing space for our automated design and manufacturing equipment,” said Randy Stevens, E-Z Drill vice president of sales and marketing.
The expansion also plays a critical role in E-Z Drill’s internal logistical network. A new office within the expansion will pass orders to the production crew. In addition to the shop expansion, E-Z Drill is incorporating a new inventory system to enhance the manufacturing process by minimizing waste and inventory costs. This results in a more environmentally friendly company and contributes toward a leaner, more efficient operation.
E-Z Drill manufactures pneumatic drilling equipment for concrete drilling and doweling applications, including airport runway repair, lane additions and highway maintenance. Its drills maximize productivity with easy setup and operation. For example, its 210-3 SRA drill is self-propelled, allowing the operator to move the unit, as well as the air compressor that powers it, along concrete slabs from one drilling location to the next.
