That might as well be the tag line of ALCOM Inc., a manufacturer of custom aluminum trailers for recreational use that carry everything from snowmobiles and motorcycles to cars and camping suppliers. The local firm has seen its business rapidly balloon even amid the worst recession in a generation.
Now, two years after moving from Waterville into a larger industrial building in Winslow, ALCOM is planning yet another expansion and a near-doubling of its workforce. It has 106 employees and plans to add another 80 jobs this summer when it increases its trailer production by 40 percent.
The Winslow Town Council will be asked at its next meeting to allow ALCOM to use adjacent property in the industrial park to satisfy state environmental requirements for the expansion. The project involves expanding the parking lot by three acres for trailer storage.
That extra space is needed because the company is ramping up its production and has already maxed out storage space in its 70,000-square-foot building, which was completed last year, said Trapper Clark, president of ALCOM.
