Springfield Marine has announced the expansion of its U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities and facilities. In August, the company will break ground on a 23,000 square foot addition to its Nixa facility, which will include an advanced finished goods warehouse, providing 50 percent more storage capacity.
This addition will also allow 35,000 square feet within its existing facility to be used for expanded metal fabrication and assembly. Springfield Marine expects to be operational in the new space by late 2025 and to increase its headcount by 20 to 30 percent.
