A Year of Building onto the Spida Family
C
hristmas has come around so quickly – where has the year gone?
By Wendy Boyd Chief Customer Officer Machinery Group Spida Machinery
Many great things have happened for Spida in 2023, so before we celebrate another Christmas and New Year, let’s reflect on our journey this year.
The start of 2023 was all about planning for the year and executing plans made previously. We started the year preparing for the renovations to our new factory purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. After many council reviews, submissions etc., the building program started in earnest around July and has been worked on diligently since. We are closing the factory in Shelbyville, Indiana at the end of November, so we have some amazing machinery specials to make our move a little less cumbersome. Please talk to our Account Managers for these special offers on New Machinery that is in stock and ready to ship. June 2023 saw us move premises in New Zealand to a purpose-built factory – almost twice the size of our previous factory space. Even though it wasn’t far in miles, it was certainly a huge undertaking for logistics and people to outfit a new build. But our team members were brilliant, and the move went off with only a few minor hiccups.
August 2023 had us again upgrading and increasing the footprint of our factory in Australia. We doubled in size to the square footage we previously had, which gave us so much more space to dedicate to R&D and our Roller Plant Division. That means, all combined, we now have some of the largest manufacturing facilities across the world.
