Proceco Expands Facility

Parts washer manufacturer Proceco, Montreal, has expanded its manufacturing facility to meet the increasing demand for its parts washers and surface treatment systems.

“The decision to expand was prompted by the ever-increasing demand for integrated cleaning and surface-treatment systems required by the markets we serve (automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment). Likewise, the company is facing new opportunities for its complementary technologies such as wet abrasive (slurry) blasting and wastewater treatment,” explained President Robert Burns.

The groundbreaking for expansion occurred in July 2013 and work was completed in January. The facility expansion is designed to optimize the company’s existing heavy manufacturing bays by relocating the storage and light manufacturing zones, as well as incorporating a new clean area for functional and factory testing of finished product.

“The new layout will significantly improve work flow, worker security, and industry demands for higher levels of cleanliness. The team has also considered enhancements to ensure our commitment to our ISO 14000 environmental policy,” said Burns.
