Braun Unveils Expansion Plans

G.A. Braun Inc. recently unveiled plans for a 101,000-square-foot expansion of its laundry machinery manufacturing facility in Syracuse, NY. “It is with great pleasure that we formally announce that we (G.A. Braun Inc. and our subsidiary CNY Fabrication) will be expanding our domestic production facility in Syracuse, NY,” said CEO and Board Chairman JB Werner and President Joe Gudenburr in a news release.

“Just six years ago we consolidated our domestic operations at our current location with the building of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Thanks to the hard work of our team members, our consistent vision for our business, our sound supply-chain network, the support of our state and local economic-development agencies, and most importantly, the exceptional business relationships that we have the good fortune to share with our clients, we are able to make this significant decision.”

The expansion is expected to continue for the next year, the release said. G.A. Braun plans to use the space to support its business and new-product development initiatives as well as diversification pursuits both domestically and internationally.

The expansion also will enable Braun to expand its core capabilities. “We are very excited to have the opportunity to invest in our business, our people and the region,” the release said. “We feel strongly that there is a great work ethic within the region, and look forward to adding new team members to our organization as part of the facility expansion.

It is our hope that this expansion will simply be one of many that will positively impact the region and the laundry industry.” Click here to review the release.
