Keith Bagley, president of Hartzell Engine Technologies\n(HET), has announced that the company has held the official ground breaking of\nthe 10,000 square foot addition to its headquarters in Montgomery, Alabama.\nWhen completed, the expansion will increase the total size of the HET campus to\n86,000 square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHartzell Engine Technologies came to Montgomery in 2010 and\nsince then we\u2019ve grown to feel like this is our home. Last year, we purchased\nour current facility and today we are so very excited and proud to celebrate\nthe furthering of our commitment to the city of Montgomery, our employees and\nto all of general aviation,\u201d Bagley said. \u201cThis ground breaking is also rock\nsolid proof of our parent company, Tailwind Technologies\u2019 steadfast commitment\nto grow this business and be an integral part of the future of general,\nbusiness and military aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bagley explained that both business growth and significant\nforthcoming new product introductions require the additional floor space.\nRather than just adding on to the current production area, one of the primary\ngoals behind the company\u2019s 10,000 square foot facility expansion and upgrade is\nto allow the consolidation of its product engineering, quality, planning and\npurchasing groups to create a more collaborative work environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe current floor plan has engineering at the back of the\nbuilding and separated office spaces among the perimeter of the production area\nfor quality, planning and purchasing, with the remaining office functions\nlocated at the front of the building,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is extremely inefficient\nto everyone involved. Once the upgrade is completed, our teams will be\nco-located in a modern, open floor plan area. It may seem like a small thing,\nbut the ability to easily collaborate will make a huge impact on our flow of\ninformation and will our teams to be more efficient throughout our entire\noperation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
