September 19, 2013 — Kinze Manufacturing is expanding its production facilities in Williamsburg with a 128,000-square-foot plant to accommodate demand for the company’s new 4900 model planter.

The new plant will use cellular manufacturing processes and employ natural lighting through skylights and air filtration in the welding areas to produce the new planter, said Brooke Baxley, a company spokeswoman. Construction should be completed next month and production is expected to begin in early November.

We caught up with Luc van Herle, Director of Global Sales and Service for Kinze, earlier in 2013 to talk about the facility investments Kinze has made and where they plan to go from here.
