In the U.S., Eriez has purchased a 114,000 square foot building that is approximately 15 miles from its World Headquarters facility in Erie, PA. The new building will house the company’s 5-Star Service Center and handle manufacturing of Eriez’ largest and hottest selling equipment including recycling systems, column flotation cells and Hydroflow fluid filtration and recycling equipment.

Construction of the new building in Vancouver is currently underway and the company expects to move into the space by early 2012.
