Altoz held a celebration for the first zero-turn mower coming off the production line at their newly expanded facility in Red Lake Falls, MN. Mayor Allen Bertilrud, Owners Dennis and Terri Brazier, along with company staff, erupted into applause as the TRX-tracked zero-turn mower was the first to roll off the production line. As production ramps up, the company will increase hiring efforts at the Red Lake Falls facility.
The new 75,000-square-foot production facility is up and running as work continues to complete the project’s $15 million first phase. “When you look at the size of this building and everything that has gone into it since our groundbreaking in early May, it is amazing the amount of work that has been accomplished. We thank everyone involved for their efforts to achieve this,” said Mike Hugg, Director of Operations.
“As we expand our product offerings into multi-seasonal equipment, this new state-of-the-art facility allows us to increase production to meet our current and future year-round demand,” said Karl Bjorkman, Director of Sales and Marketing.
The building is one of the largest, if not the largest, in the city of Red Lake Falls. 23,000 yards of material were moved to prepare the building site. 2,600 yards of concrete, 42 miles of rebar, and over 150,000 fasteners were used to construct the building.
