The AACOA plant, a subsidiary of Bonnel Aluminum in Bertrand Township is receiving an $18 million expansion.
Bonnell Aluminum is making the investment that includes a new state-of-the-art aluminium extrusion line and more floor space at the site at 2005 Mayflower Road. The company plans to start the new line during the second quarter of 2017.
"With continued growing demand from our customers, it is exciting to invest in this additional capacity, knowing that we will satisfy these opportunities with the high-quality products and services that AACOA is known for in the industry," Brook Hamilton, president and general manager for Bonnell Aluminum, said in a statement. "Our facility in Niles is ideally suited for this project, with a well-run operation and a great team in place."
AACOA's customers are primarily in the consumer durables, machinery and equipment markets. The Niles plant also serves automotive manufacturers.
"The addition of this new line will provide new and broader product line capabilities for our customers," Hamilton said.
Bonnell Aluminum, a subsidiary of Virginia-based Tredegar Corp., acquired AACOA in 2012. The company has an operation in Elkhart as well.
