Progress on Temco Tool's New Expansion
Temco Tool continues to make progress with the new building expansion. The frame is now closed-in and work on the interior is beginning. Expected completion is currently set to the end of May, 2017.
Progress on Temco Tool's New Expansion
Temco Tool’s 21,000 sq. ft. expansion is starting to take shape. The new building’s frame will be closed in by the end of this February and occupied by June. Our new space will create an additional 14,000 sq. ft. for production precision machining.
Temco Tool – Expanding Facility & Creating New Jobs
Temco Tool is about to start an expansion project that will increase our manufacturing facility by approximately 16,000 square-feet and create 20-30 new jobs when fully utilized. The increased demand from our core customers as well as several new opportunities has spurred this expansion. We have simply run out of room in our current building, fortunately our piece of land allows room for an expansion to the existing plant. The plans and permitting phase is nearing completion, and we are hoping to have the building up and externally complete by fall. Our new space will allow us to produce parts in higher volume with shorter lead time, while supporting our current long term contracts without interruption.
The structure is scheduled for February completion with internal completion by spring or early summer. Once the expansion is finished, we will begin purchasing additional equipment for our facility.

A Rise in Demand for Skilled Workers and Capabilities in Manufacturing
As the manufacturing industry continues to advance, the need for skilled workers increases. The demand for machinists, programmers, and operators is growing at a rate higher than people receiving degrees to fill those positions. It is estimated that in 2025 there will be 2 million unfilled skilled job openings in industry, compared to the 300,000 today.
When and Why You Need EDM Machining
In today’s high tech industry, the complexity of designs and the composition of base materials is often beyond the capabilities of traditional machining. This is where our EDM machines step in with electrical discharge cutting methods to produce incredibly precise, burr-free components for the most demanding of applications. The ability to cut extremely hard materials with precision and no cutter induced residual stresses has proven to be an attractive option for today’s aerospace market.
