Prab expands manufacturing operations in Michigan

Prab Inc., a manufacturer of equipment and systems for processing metal scrap and spent fluids and treating oily wastewater for recycle and reuse, has announced plans to expand its manufacturing campus in Kalamazoo, Mich. The company has purchased existing manufacturing space and warehouse buildings across the street from its current location.

The new building increases the company’s manufacturing capacity to 159,000 sq. ft. and allows the sales and engineering teams from all company divisions to operate under a single roof. Prab’s Fluid Filtration and Wastewater Treatment divisions will combine in building 2 with the team from Chip Systems and Conveyors for Die Cast and Stamping.

The original plant location, known as building 1, will house some final assembly and shipping, along with KMC Global corporate functions. The third campus building is being renovated to house the expansion of the company’s Controls division.
