The second phase of a major modernization was recently begun by Shaw Industries at its Andalusia, Ala., extrusion facility, the largest of Shaw's more than 100 manufacturing plants and distribution centers across the United States, at 1.17 million square feet.
This effort, representing a capital investment of more than $35 million, calls for replacement of extrusion equipment and extensive building upgrades, with a sizeable section of the plant being demolished and rebuilt. This project's purpose is to improve employee safety, product quality and manufacturing efficiency, Shaw said.
