STEVENSVILLE, Md. — Stertil-Koni announced a major capital investment at its U.S. manufacturing facility, Stertil ALM, located in Streator, Illinois.
The enhancements represent the completion of the first phase of a substantial, ongoing commitment to plant modernization and efficiency.
At the Streator facility, Stertil ALM focuses on the production of a broad range of Stertil-Koni heavy duty vehicle lifts, including mobile column lifts, platform lifts, ECOLIFT—the industry’s first US patented, ultra-shallow, fill-rise, in-ground scissor lifting system—and the recently introduced DIAMOND LIFT, a full rise telescopic piston lift setting new standards in precision heavy duty lifting.
In making today’s announcement, Allan Pavlick, VP of Stertil ALM, stated, “We are now online with a new, world-class cutting machine that utilizes a combination of plasma and oxy-fuel torches coupled with a state-of-the-art PC-based, touch screen controller for extremely fast, high-precision manufacturing. As a result, the company now has the ability to cut virtually all components required, in-house, continuing our strategic migration towards in-sourcing.”
Stertil-ALM also added two new, high capacity overhead cranes to its facility.
Noted Dr. Jean DellAmore, president of Stertil-Koni USA, “These new innovations permit us to save time and money, while simultaneously enabling Stertil ALM to expand its commitment to hiring local workers. From a broader perspective, our investment in the latest technology also enables Stertil-Koni to bring the product to market even more quickly and expand the company’s leadership in the design and production of top-rated heavy-duty vehicle lifts.”
