The first zero-turn mower to come off the assembly line was celebrated at the newly expanded Altoz facility in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota.
As the TRX tracked zero-turn mower rolled down the line, Mayor Allen Bertilrud and Altoz founders Dennis and Terri Brazier, along with company workers, exploded in cheers. As manufacturing increases up, the business said that it will intensify employment efforts at this plant.
The new 75,000-square-foot production facility is up and operating, while construction on the $15 million first phase of the project continues. “When you consider the magnitude of this structure and everything that has gone into it from our groundbreaking in early May, it is remarkable how much work has been completed. We applaud everyone who worked hard to make this happen “Mike Hugg, Director of Operations, explained.
“As we expand our product offerings into multi-seasonal equipment, this new state-of-the-art facility will allow us to increase production to meet our current and future year-round demand,” said Karl Bjorkman, Director of Sales and Marketing.
The structure is one of the largest, if not the largest, in Red Lake Falls. To prepare the construction site, 23,000 yards of material were hauled. The building was built with 2,600 yards of concrete, 42 miles of rebar, and over 150,000 bolts.
