New Facility Update
The new office interior
Yulex Corporation’s new production facility, set to open January 2012, is located within the Lone Butte Industrial Park in Chandler, Arizona, and is part of the Gila River Indian Community. Yulex has refurbished and upgraded three existing structures on the site, as opposed to bulldozing and building from scratch, in a conscious effort to make the project as green as possible. Construction has already been completed on one of the buildings, and the Yulex office headquarters was moved into the new space in April. The remaining two structures will be used as manufacturing facility buildings, and construction on these structures recently passed the halfway point. The new facility will be producing both emulsion and solid biopolymers.
The new lobby
Employees have already been hired for the first shift of production at the new facility, and are currently in training at Yulex’s Maricopa facility. They will be responsible for raw material production and compounding. Hiring for the second shift crew will begin this January. The second shift employees will train for a month and begin their production shift at the end of the first quarter.
The equipment for the new facility has all already been ordered, and a great portion of it is being delivered. Yulex new facility has a 500 metric ton name plate capacity for the first year. This quantity will be increased in following years as customer demand increases. The new facility even has the capacity to double production quantities with the existing equipment.
The new landscaping
“We look forward to completing this significant expansion to our production capability and enabling Yulex to begin meeting the increasing demand for our elastomeric biomaterials,” said Jeff Martin, President and CEO of Yulex Corporation. “Our expanded capability allows us to provide renewable high performance materials for a variety of markets including consumer goods such as footwear, action sports gear, clothing and apparel, baby products, etc, as well as other industries such as medical devices, adhesives and resins.”
