NEWNAN, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bonnell Aluminum, a subsidiary of Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG), today announced its plans to expand and upgrade its anodizing capacity to serve the commercial-architectural construction market. In response to increased demand for anodizing products, the Company expects to invest approximately $5 million to expand and modernize the anodizing line at its Carthage, Tennessee facility. The Company anticipates that the upgraded line, which is planned to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2015, will increase the plant’s anodizing capacity by an additional thirty-five percent.
“Not only will we increase capacity to better service our customers’ anodizing requirements, but the upgrade in equipment will further enhance our quality and consistency,” commented Ira Endres, Vice President Sales and Marketing.
“Our 2012 acquisition of AACOA increased our expertise in the field of anodizing, particularly in terms of processes and technology,” added Brook Hamilton, President of Bonnell Aluminum. “This project will benefit from our added knowledge and will raise the bar for anodizing quality and consistency in the commercial-architectural construction market.”
