A north Iowa manufacturer is nearing completion of another expansion that’s also expected to create over five dozen new jobs.
Unverferth says its 75,000-square-foot plant expansion at its Shell Rock facility is its 12th expansion since 1988 and means up to 65 job openings for welders, painters, robotic operators, machine operators and general assemblers.Â
In a statement, Larry Unverferth, company president, said, “This is an exciting time for Unverferth and the communities surrounding Shell Rock. We often say, ‘Employees are not numbers at Unverferth; they’re family,’ and we mean it. There’s no better feeling than creating high-quality jobs right here in the heartland. We’re proud to support American manufacturing and look forward to welcoming more people into our new facility and the Unverferth family.â€
The expansion adds a manufacturing production line where welders and assemblers will build Unverferth Pro-Force dry fertilizer spreaders, Unverferth NutriMax liquid fertilizer applicators, Top Air sprayers and Brent high-capacity grain wagons. It also adds manufacturing space for welders and assemblers to build Brent grain carts and grain cart track systems. A brand-new paint booth is also being installed for added capacity.Â
The company says the facility expansions are expected to be completed in February 2023.
Unverferth will host open interviews on December 15 from noon to 6 p.m. at the Shell Rock facility with walk-ins welcome to apply for all open positions.Â
