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.

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.”
