Newell Rubbermaid’s plant at Winfield is moving rapidly to take advantage of the company’s decision to expand operations here.
Eight of 21 huge plastic injection molding machines scheduled to come to Winfield from Greenville, Texas, are already here, Winfield operations manager Larry Rohr said.
A tour of the plant showed work on concrete pads, electrical and water supply infrastructure was proceeding apace. An Ohio contract firm, D and D Riggers, is doing most of the work.
In addition, 80 employees from the Greenville plant have shown interest in moving to Winfield, human resources manager Brandi Biddle said. Twenty-eight have signed up.
The process of consolidating two of Newell Rubbermaid’s plastic injection molding plants into one is “doing very well,” Rohr said.
He estimated as many as 40 employees from Greenville would come to work in Winfield. This, he pointed out, would be many more than came from Centerville, Iowa, when Newell Rubbermaid closed a plant there a few years ago and moved production of outdoor storage products to Winfield.
The company plans to add 250 jobs to the current workforce of 555 at Winfield, Biddle said. A majority of those jobs will be seasonal; the number of permanent jobs remains to be seen, she told the Courier in January.
Rohr said he was pleased 13 salaried people were coming from Greenville, including engineers and supervisors. Among 13 production employees coming, several have technical experience needed at Winfield, Rohr said.
“We’re pleased to have those skill sets,” he said.
In addition to the hiring from Greenville, the Winfield plant’s employment agency,Fantastic range of porcelaintiles, Life Style Staffing, has hired 155 employees to work at the plant here since Jan. 1, 2012, Garret Gilmore, account coordinator, said. Some 100 of those employees are in production.
Most of the employees from Greenville will be in Winfield by the end of April, Biddle said. The company has announced the Greenville plant will close in July.
Jeff Hohler, president of the new Home Organization and Style unit of Newell Rubbermaid, was in Winfield this week and discussed the expansion of one of the existing product lines here.
That line is “dec boxes,” an outdoor storage product,The beddinges sofa bed slipcover is a good and affordable alternative to buying a new sofa that is run down. Rohr said. In addition, a new line of “Clever Store” totes, or topless indoor plastic storage bins, is coming to Winfield from Greenville,Learn all about solarpanel, along with a line of outdoor trash containers called “Roughneck.”
Rohr said one of the injection molding machines trucked in from Greenville has a 3,000-ton capacity. The enormous machine, currently being installed at Winfield, was broken down and transported on nine flatbed trucks, Rohr said.
He estimated the Winfield plant would use 130 million pounds of plastic resin in 2012. The amount used in 2011 was 50 million pounds.
The Winfield facility on E. 12th Ave. still has unused capacity for manufacturing. “This facility still has room to grow, in spite of this consolidation,” Biddle said.
