Kindeyne expands Alabama facility

Kindeyne expands Alabama facility

 

Kinedyne LLC has announced that it will expand its Prattville, Ala. facility, consolidating its engineering, manufacturing, quality control, supply chain management, customer service and government contract functions into a newly expanded 200-sq.-ft. facility. According to the company, this will make the company more efficient, competitive and responsive to its customers’ needs.

“Ours is an extremely competitive marketplace,” Steve Atzeni, vice president of North American operations for Kinedyne LLC, said. “This consolidation of talent and resources will help Kinedyne stay as competitive in the next 50 years as it has been for the last 50.”

Previous to the move, the company’s engineering and quality control functions primarily resided at its Branchburg, New Jersey and Lawrence, Kansas locations, while manufacturing, quality control, supply chain management, customer service and government contract staff were spread across locations in Kansas, Nevada and Alabama.

“Our previous geographic separation made higher levels of collaboration, teamwork and productivity more challenging,” Atzeni said. “There is something to be said for being able to sit around a table and communicate with your colleagues face to face in the same room.”

The company maintains offices in all previous locations, with the exception of Kansas, and some staff took advantage of relocation options. Even with the closing of the Kansas facility, Kinedyne expects the net increase in jobs to total about 40 new positions in Prattville, resulting from the growth of business opportunities nationwide.
