Wait Industries, an Elkhart, Indiana-based private capital investment firm which operates two manufacturing plants, says it will invest more than $3 million in cash and capital in its facilities.
Inside Indiana Business reported that the company completed the purchase of Voyager, a metal fabricating firm that supplies to the automotive and medical industries.
Reports say the company will purchase $1 million worth of capital equipment, including upgraded powder coating capabilities, the addition of a tube laser, CNC tube bending and robotic welding.
The remaining expenditures will be used to purchase the almost 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Wait Industries owns Voyager and M-3 and Associates, which both operate in the same facility in Elkhart.
Founded in 1987, M-3 produces trailer ramp spring assist lift systems and pioneered the use of dual-spring systems. The company also distributes components and parts to the enclosed trailer and recreational vehicle markets, as well as HVAC, steel and aluminum pieces and other custom metal products.
