Gorbel to Open 3rd North American Manufacturing Location Nr. Phoenix

Gorbel is poised to open its third North American manufacturing location near Phoenix, Arizona, US. This new plant will allow the company to increase its presence in the western region of the US. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for 24 July, and by the end of this month a number of products will be manufactured there including: work station cranes – freestanding, ceiling mounted, and monorails; jib cranes – FS manual, FS motorized, WB100, WC200, Mast Type, Gantry; TSJ, WSJ, AL100 and Pivot Pro; Tether Track and the GS Hoists.

For customers with shipping addresses in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming the Arizona facility will be an option for manufacturing orders beginning 30 July. Customers will be notified when the new plant is available to select as a manufacturing location in CraneBrain.

As Gorbel adds overall production, the regions served from Arizona will be modified based on demand levels. Western Mexico and Western Canada are areas currently being considered for the second phase of service.

The new plant will allow the company to increase its presence in the western region of the US.

Currently Cleveland Tramrail, G-Force/Easy Arm, Shop Crane, Rehab and Ranger will not be made in Arizona but may be added at a future date.

Gorbel will not include special finishes such as galvanizing at the start of production in the new facility, these options will be considered in the future. Gorbel will be keeping customers updated as the target gate for production approaches and warns that there may be some longer than normal lead times for products out of this new facility as it fully ramps up production.
