Malley Industries Expansion To Be First In Dieppe Industrial Park Extension
DIEPPE, N.B. --- Malley Industries Inc. will be the first company to establish a facility in the newest section of the Dieppe Industrial Park.
The New Brunswick-based manufacturer of specialty vehicles has purchased a 15 acre parcel of land near the intersection of NB Highway 15 and the Trans-Canada Highway, with plans to construct a 90,000 square foot facility adjacent to the Greater Moncton International Airport. Construction is underway, with official opening slated for fall 2010.
'This new facility will enable us to consolidate our existing operations under one roof, and facilitate the growth of our plastics manufacturing as well as other areas of our business,' said Terry Malley, President & CEO.
'While we are known for our ambulances, specialized law enforcement conversions, and vehicle modifications for persons with disabilities, we have a growing demand for both vehicle components and a host of non-automotive products,' he added. 'Our new facility will help us to meet those new opportunities.'
'At Malley Industries, our real strength lies in our diversification, and vision for niche market opportunities,' he said. 'This new facility is a big undertaking for us, but one that will both strengthen our company, and provide increased employment within New Brunswick in the manufacturing sector for years to come.'
Malley Industries moved to its primary location to Dieppe in 2004. At that time, it was producing approximately 125 vehicle conversions per year. Since then, output has risen to almost 900 vehicle conversions annually.
'We never anticipated that level of growth in such a short period of time,' added Malley. 'This new facility will enable us to build on our strengths in the automotive industry and diversify into other sectors. A larger operation will make it possible for us to take on bigger projects that we’ve not been able to accommodate due to lack of capacity.'
'We are excited about the new opportunities this facility will open up and are proud to be expanding in New Brunswick,' he concluded. 'We believe this new section of the Dieppe Industrial Park is the ideal location for our continued growth.'
The company plans to sell its 30,000 square foot facility on Ferdinand Blvd. in Dieppe and its property at 212 Halifax St. in Moncton.
