“We’re excited to continue our commitment to the region and to grow our investment in the Logansport community. This new equipment will allow us to better serve our customers,” said Larry Barker, ARaymond plant manager at Logansport.  

The addition of the new coating lines is part of ARaymond’s overall reimagining of its North American operations, including processes that were spread across multiple locations into one facility. ARaymond Logansport will process 80 percent of its coating work and serve as the primary shipping location for both the Hamilton, Ontario, and Logansport sites. These changes will provide its customers with benefits such as avoiding the need to pick up products in two different locations, crossing borders, reducing administrative work, and aligning with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) engagements.

To celebrate the investment, the plant welcomed ARaymond’s global leadership team this past July for a tour of the facility and to learn details of the impacts the $12 million will have on operations.

Also present during the visit to the facility was Logansport Deputy Mayor Jacob Pomasl.

ARaymond’s leadership expressed their full support of this investment as it aligns with both their goals to continually improve the efficiency of their products and services and to being active players in their local communities.
“Our company has been in business for 155 years”, said Barker. “We’re here for the long haul.”

“Our mission is to continue our story, by making the improvements that respond to our customer’s needs and in parallel bring value to our surrounding communities.”
