Located in Dublin, Ga., YKK AP America's 800,000-square foot national manufacturing center will be undergoing a capacity expansion. According to an announcement from Oliver Steppe, senior vice president, expansion efforts, which are slated for completion in the third and fourth quarter of this year, will include workforce additions, additional machinery and tooling and further automation in its custom door and window fabrication plant.

The expansion is designed to reduce lead times for fabricated products, reinforce customer satisfaction in the "Express" and "FBZ" fast service programs and to prepare for new products, reported Steppe.
