DeWITT — Feldmeier Equipment, Inc. has just moved into a new 133,000-square-foot, high-tech manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in DeWitt, but has already begun planning another expansion.
Feldmeier Equipment — which makes stainless steel tanks and other equipment for the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, and brewery markets — formally opened the $15 million facility at 6655 Old Thompson Road with a ribbon-cutting event on Sept. 24. It was the birthday of the company’s co-founder, the late Robert H. Feldmeier.
A small crew of Feldmeier engineers and other employees started working at the new plant on June 17, says Colby Clark, VP of operations at Feldmeier Equipment and grandson of the company co-founder.
Clark, who oversaw the construction process, says the new structure has 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space, 33,000 square feet of office space, and room for a 40,000-square-foot expansion. The company has already started planning that expansion, he says. “We work on a five-year plan,” he adds.
The new Feldmeier facility — located on the site of the former Brooklawn Golf Course, which closed three years ago — allows for a streamlined manufacturing process, utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment providing speed to market for customers, the company contends.
Feldmeier Equipment, which says it is the largest stainless-steel tank manufacturer in the U.S., needed the new site because it had outgrown its prior headquarters and manufacturing facility at 6800 Townline Road in DeWitt, Clark says. The company, which is generating strong growth in all its business segments, plans to keep the Townline Road facility open for its central components division.
Feldmeier Equipment currently has 126 employees in DeWitt between the two facilities. Clark says the goal is to grow to a staff of 150 employees at the new headquarters facility at Old Thompson Road, while maintaining 35-40 workers at the Townline Road site.
Clark says Feldmeier considered “other locations” out of state for its new headquarters, but says, “To us this is home. We’ve always been here.” The company was founded in 1952 and is now into its third generation of family ownership.
Feldmeier Equipment has received tax incentives from the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency for the new plant, including property-tax and sales-tax exemptions.
Syracuse–based VIP Structures, Inc. handled the design and construction of the facility.
Feldmeier Equipment has more than 400 employees companywide and seven manufacturing plants in four states. The company generates 25 percent of its revenue through exports, says Clark.
