Allied Tube & Conduit celebrates 50th anniversary with flagship facility expansion

Allied Tube & Conduit Corp., a business within Tyco Electrical & Metal Products, which is a segment of Tyco International, has announced the grand opening of a 514,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing center in Harvey, Ill.

The $30 million investment will double the size of the existing facility and is expected to be complete by early 2010. Marking what will be the company's first LEED-certified project, the facility's technology will streamline manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution, creating efficiencies that enable it to better serve customers in the surrounding community and across North America.

"Building on a half-century of innovation, Allied's people, products and processes have helped to reshape the tube and conduit industry, and we are proud to celebrate today's expansion in Harvey as a renewed commitment to our employees, customers and the community at large," said Nelda Connors, president Tyco Electrical & Metal Products. "The Harvey community has played a key role in our success, and our investment in this facility not only positions us to better serve our customers, but also to strengthen our roots in the community for years to come."

In addition to technological advancements in warehousing and distribution, the new space will make room for additional capacity and capabilities in Harvey for steel coil slitting, gage reduction, roll forming, threading, product packaging, and other secondary operations. It will also improve railroad spur service and inbound and outbound truck loading and traffic lanes, enhancing order fulfillment and processing.
