Clarcor expands US Baldwin filter plant Filter maker Clarcor Inc is planning to invest US$28 million over the next three years to extend its Baldwin manufacturing facility in Yankton, South Dakota. The investment will add capacity to produce heavy-duty engine filters for the American and export markets. The expanded facility should be fully operational by the end of 2012, with more equipment and capabilities being added through to 2014. Clarcor expects to hire an additional 70 people as a result of the expansion. “We expect our Baldwin business to continue to grow at an impressive rate, and this expansion supports our position as the leading supplier of heavy-duty engine filters to the aftermarket. Being a global company, we obviously have many geographic
options when it comes to making investments of this type. At this point, Yankton represents the most cost effective means of expansion to satisfy our growing domestic and export demand. Going forward, we certainly expect to make further investments in Asia, our fastest growing market,” said Norm Johnson, Clarcor chairman and CEO. “We continue to forecast increased demand for high quality heavy-duty engine filters, and we believe that adding state-ofthe-art equipment to a facility that has consistently delivered world-class performance will allow us not only to continue to supply exceptional products to our customers, but to do so at the margins that our shareholders have come to expect,” added Johnson. www.clarcor.com
