The Raymond Corporation<\/a> hosted a National Manufacturing Day event at its headquarters in Greene, New York, recently unveiling a 47,000-square-foot addition to its facility and the reconfiguration of manufacturing space.<\/p>\n

The creation of the Raymond<\/a> Operations Center accounted for 32,000 square feet of the addition. In this space, Raymond was able to add a second level for office space for operations and support, multiple collaborative team rooms and an employee fitness center. This allowed for the reconfiguration of 60,000 square feet on the manufacturing floor and optimization of the first floor support operations for improved efficiency and production capacity.<\/p>\n

An additional 15,000-square-foot expansion has been added to the west side of the building for new 60-foot test bay capabilities, office space, team rooms and break rooms. Raymond<\/a> also implemented a number of upgrades to its manufacturing technology, installing advanced automatic welding and laser-cutting technology, upgrading warehouse management software, and integrating the corporate logistics plan with just-in-time delivery of equipment and materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cRaymond<\/a>\u2019s growing workforce and our evolving needs as a leader in our industry were driving forces to expand our footprint and implement a number of state-of-the-art technologies on the manufacturing floor,\u201d said Michael Field, CEO. \u201cTo meet the ever-changing needs of our customers, Raymond<\/a> must continually advance to bring forward the most productive and efficient products and solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raymond<\/a>\u2019s main manufacturing facility is located in Greene, along with its central offices which include operations, engineering, marketing, finance and various other departments. Many of Raymond\u2019s flagship products are built at the Greene location, including narrow aisle Reach-Fork trucks, very narrow aisle Raymond Swing-Reach transtacker and sideloader trucks, and Raymond\u2019s sit-down and stand-up counterbalanced trucks.<\/p>\n

In addition to the unveiling of the expansion, Raymond<\/a>\u2019s support of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers inspired a National Manufacturing Day event for more than 200 Southern Tier of New York high school students, demonstrating how STEM careers can be exciting, challenging and rewarding.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents were given a guided tour of our award-winning operations and witnessed first-hand what careers in science, technology, engineering and math are all about from myself and Steve Medwin, director of systems and advanced engineering,\u201d said Rick Harrington, vice president of U.S. manufacturing at Raymond<\/a>. \u201cIf we can inspire one more student to see a future in a STEM career, then we have been successful.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
