Successful manufacturers go to great lengths to better serve their customers. Modula USA has gone nearly 4,000 miles—from Italy to Maine—to better serve its customers in North and South America.
An Italy-based manufacturer of vertical lift modules and horizontal carousels, Modula begins its manufacturing presence in the United States this month by opening a state-of-the-art refurbished plant in Lewiston, ME. Miguel Fabra, COO of Modula, says the company invested $6 million in the facility, which was formerly owned by Diamond Phoenix, a material handling technology supplier and systems integrator. The plant now encompasses 102,000 square feet and employs more than 60 people, including 40 assemblers.
