Altec will make a significant investment to strengthen its existing operations, result in the creation of 100 new jobs and reinforce Mount Airy’s role as a competitive manufacturing hub.
The project will begin with construction of a new maintenance facility, allowing maintenance staff to relocate from an existing wing of the current building to a new structure adjacent to Altec Way. Once vacated, that portion of the facility will be retooled into additional assembly space, increasing production output and enabling the hiring of more than 100 new associates.
In addition to the new maintenance facility, an addition will be completed in an existing portion of the plant to further expand production capacity. The project will also include utility improvements and facility upgrades to support long-term operational efficiency and growth.
Altec Industries has operated in Mount Airy since its purchase of the facility from Pike Electric in March 2016. Since that time, the company has steadily grown both production capacity and staffing levels, establishing the Mount Airy facility as a key assembly plant within Altec’s national manufacturing network.
