V-Tech Engineering Inc., a firm headquartered in Bluffton, Indiana, which designs and manufactures innovative food processing equipment primarily for the baking and snack food industries, increased its manufacturing space by 125 percent to accommodate its plans for further expansion in Adams County.

According to the firm, its 21,000 square foot facility will be equipped with all new sheet metal forming and fabrication equipment. The company plans to add more robotics for sheet metal handling and welding processes. New fabricating equipment and robotics are being installed over the next few weeks. The jobs created will be primarily for skilled programmers, press brake operators and assemblers.

“The success of our tunnel ovens, spiral conveyors, and conveying systems we manufacture have fueled the need for a larger and more efficient manufacturing space” Bo Alstoft, President of V-Tech Engineering said “Our commitment to continue and expand equipment manufacturing in NE Indiana is clear”. The new facility will be dedicated to tunnel oven manufacturing and final assembly point for all equipment manufactured.
