08/12/2014
The new facility will house all production and office personnel. It will include a new powder coat paint line with state of the art manufacturing equipment in addition to providing ample space for future growth. Initial earthwork will begin in August, with the new facility expected to be fully completed in the spring of 2015. All operations will transition to the new building by mid-year with minimal disruption anticipated.
“I’d like to congratulate Hi Roller on its greenfield expansion in Sioux Falls,” said Governor Dennis Daugaard. “Hi Roller made the right decision to expand here. Our low tax burdens and business-friendly environment makes South Dakota a prime destination for business owners.”
“We are very excited to invest in this new facility, as it will serve our customers and employees well into the future,” said Gary Anderson, President/CEO of AGI. “The team at Hi Roller has done an excellent job producing the highest quality enclosed belt conveyors in the industry. We are committed to providing an excellent working environment for our employees and supporting the future growth of Hi Roller both domestically and internationally.”
During the planning and approval process AGI worked in close cooperation with state and local authorities. “The Sioux Falls Development Foundation would like to congratulate Hi Roller and AGI on their new facility,” said Dean Dziedzic, Director of Strategic Initiatives in Sioux Falls. “The company has been a dynamic element of the local economy for years and we’re excited that they have chosen to continue their growth in our city.”
“We appreciate the efforts of the Economic Development offices of Sioux Falls and the State of South Dakota for their support of this project. They’ve been a great group to work with and their involvement was critical in AGI’s decision to continue to invest in the Sioux Falls area,” added AGI Commercial Products Group Vice President Tom Zant.
