ITW Corporate invests in Heartland

In September, 2011, ITW Corporate officers approved a capital equipment request made on behalf of ITW Heartland. This request was submitted by Heartland’s Manufactured Products business unit in response to the consistent loyalty of its customers who have made it clear that they prefer to do business with ITW Heartland so long as there is sufficient capacity to support it.

This investment will consist of a Mazak Nexus HCN-4000 horizontal CNC machining center and an auxiliary twelve pallet rail system designed to increase manufacturing efficiencies and complement future CNC machining center investments. “We are extremely grateful that our parent company recognizes our success and is willing to continually invest in our future” says Jim Pospisil, Manufactured Products’ Business Unit Manager. “By investing in us in this way, they are allowing us to continually meet the needs of our customers while fulfilling our stated objective of being a world-class horizontal CNC machining facility.”

Manufactured Products’ Production Manager Mark Petersen expects that the new system will be up and running by April of 2012.
