[PRESS RELEASE] Conner Industries Boosts Manufacturing Capabilities At Lugoff Plant

Fort Worth, Texas – January 23, 2019:  Conner Industries, Inc. broadens their manufacturing capabilities at the company’s Lugoff, South Carolina manufacturing facility with the addition of a new panel saw and pallet machine. In addition, the company is currently evaluating the possibility of adding a new facility to meet increasing demands in the region. This follows several recent announcements from Conner, including other new equipment expenditures, and the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Clarksville, Tennessee, and signals strong first quarter growth for the company.

“Making the move to install a new panel saw and high output pallet machine at Lugoff is a good strategic move for Conner,” says David Dixon, CEO of Conner Industries. “Not only will it increase the plant’s manufacturing capacity, but it will also help us meet the growing needs of the region.”

Conner’s high output pallet machine offer standard-sized pallets with adjustable, reliable, and accurate nail patterns that provide consistent build quality from the first pallet to the last. These machines ensure that automated never means inferior. The new panel saw will reduce load and unload time, as well as reducing wood waste and increasing efficiency.

The company is also in the process of evaluating a new potential facility in the Lugoff area, near Columbia, South Carolina, to meet the growing demand for industrial wood, custom pallets, and custom crates. “While no decision has been made on a new facility at this time, it’s certainly something we’re considering,” Dixon added. “With so much business growth over the last year, it’s exciting to consider new facilities in growing markets, such as Columbia.”
