CTech Manufacturing Breaks Ground on New Expansion
CTech Manufacturing has officially broken ground on its second major expansion in less than five years. The Weston, Wisconsin-based storage manufacturer is adding an additional 100,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space to an existing location within the same business park as the current headquarters. This effort closely follows an 80,000-sq.-ft. expansion that was completed in 2019.

The new building will house an additional powdercoat line, plus automated fabrication and assembly equipment to support all of CTech's current product lines.
"We continue to thank our customers for putting their trust in CTech for delivering high-quality aluminum storage solutions. This expansion will help support the rapid growth we have been experiencing and continue to prioritize our industry-leading delivery times," said Mike Greenheck, vice president of CTech.
Completion of the new expansion is targeted for early 2025, with additional manufacturing capacity coming online immediately thereafter. Progress will be well documented across the company's social-media platforms for those eager to stay up-to-date with the project.
