Raven Industries Expands Operations to U.S. East Coast
January 02 2020 - 2:00PM
Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company; NASDAQ:RAVN)
announced today that its Engineered Films Division is expanding its
fabrication operations to the East Coast of the United States with
the opening of a facility in Waynesboro, Va. This new location will
allow Raven Engineered Films to provide a heightened level of
service and faster product delivery to customers of its Energy,
Geomembrane and Construction markets. At the new facility, Raven
will custom-fabricate materials and strategically warehouse
products to better serve this geographic region.
Expanding fabrication to the U.S. East Coast allows Raven
Engineered Films to continue growing its core product lines while
simultaneously executing Raven Composites™, one of the company’s
two strategic platforms for growth announced in November.
“We are committed to our core business and customers,” said
Anthony Schmidt, VP and General Manager of Raven Engineered Films.
“Having a presence on the East Coast will allow us to respond more
efficiently to the needs of our customers.”
The Waynesboro community is an appealing place for Raven to do
business because of its rich heritage of manufacturing excellence
as well as its proximity to the Appalachian Basin, major shipping
and transportation hubs, and port access. Raven will begin
operations in Waynesboro with approximately five team members in
early 2020 and will expand based on business demand.
“The City of Waynesboro was built on the foundation of
manufacturing firms like Raven,” shared Greg Hitchin, Director of
Economic Development and Tourism for the City of Waynesboro. “We
are thrilled to welcome them to our business community.”
