I wanted to update everyone on the progress of our new building.  Salina Vortex Corporation broke ground on a new facility June 14 at 1725 Vortex Avenue in the Salina Airport Industrial Complex.  Here is a rendering of what the new building will look like when it is finished.

The new building will double the size of the current building.  The facilitity will allow Salina Vortex to increase production capacity and improve manufacturing capabilities to meet increasing domestic and export sale.

Salina Vortex is a manufacturer of slide gates, diverter valves and iris valves used in dry-bulk material handling.  Companies throughout the world depend on Salina Vortex valves to control or divert the flow of a variety of products from food and minerals to plastics and pharmaceuticals.

The new facility is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2006.  At that time, Salina Vortex will re-locate its offices and production to the new 16-acre campus.
