Thermoformed Plastics Market
November 2023-Â Wurm's Woodworking Company (WWC), a long-standing pillar in the New Washington community, has announced its recent thermoforming operations expansion project. The expansion encompasses nearly 20,000 square feet of additional space, a substantial capital investment in cutting-edge molding machinery and equipment, and an overall investment of USD 2.1 million. Throughout this expansion project, the company has remained committed to its workforce, retaining all 47 employees. Rick Wurm, one of the co-owners of WWC, expressed his enthusiasm about the expansion. Wurm said that the investments they have made in their new building and equipment have allowed the company to increase its plastic and vinyl upholstery production efficiency significantly. He further added that they are also ecstatic about their new Faro 3D measurement technology, which will allow the company to efficiently create thermoformed plastic or vinyl upholstery tools, CNC fixtures, quality inspections, and reverse engineer parts for 3D printing. Through these investments, the company feels the company is in a strong position for continued growth here in the New Washington community. This expansion is poised to fortify WWC's production of a diverse range of high-quality fabricated wood and plastic parts and assemblies.
