Ensign Expands Assembly Plant

Ensign Equipment Inc., a supplier of materials handling equipment and integrated systems for handling dry bulk solids has just completed a 10,000 ft² expansion of its assembly plant in Holland, Mich. 

Ensign started the project in 2021, but due to several supply chain disruptions didn’t finish it until the middle of this year. The expansion is part of an ongoing trend for the company, as it has expanded its office space twice in the past three years to keep up with the consistent hiring of additional talent in its sales, engineering, and procurement departments. 

The will nearly double the company’s assembly space, giving breathing room for the continued growth Ensign has experienced due to higher demands for automated material handling solutions. “There is a strong increase from our existing and new clients for solutions to be more automated and more intuitive as many have struggled to not only find employees, but also qualified personnel who able to operate machinery,” notes Andrew Hartline, v.p., sales & marketing. “Our president, Mark Hoffman, has always had a progressive mindset. With his support we made significant infrastructure investments in people and technology a few years back. This has primed us for our recent growth. Our team’s hard work and dedication has allowed us to keep up with the increased demand we’ve been fortunate to experience.”
