Millerbernd Mfg. expands in Minnesota

Millerbernd Mfg. Co., a fabricator of light and traffic structures, rolled rings and cylinders, and airfield ground lighting products, is building a new, 110,000-sq.-ft. facility in Winsted, Minn.

The plant will allow the company to add production capacity and new capabilities in plate rolling and flash butt welding for aluminum, steel, and exotic alloys, while building additional capacity for its OEM business partners. It will include a Davi plate roller that can accommodate 6-in.-thick steel in plate widths up to 13 ft.

The modular facility will consolidate three ring and cylinder production facilities into one building that can be expanded up to 200,000 sq. ft. The company will reconfigure the production layout for its pole and airfield ground lighting business units on its current campus. Capacity for the pole division will be expanded by 35%, while capacity for the airfield ground lighting division will be expanded by 50%.

Scheduled for completion in Q4 2020, the facility is expected to create 100 jobs.
