National Molding will be consolidating the Duraflex production from both our Miami Lakes, FL and Ambridge PA. into our Largo, Florida facility. Currently, the Largo plant manufactures medical products and they are well equipped to handle the attention to detail that the Duraflex line requires. The equipment (presses and molds) from both facilities will be relocated to our Largo, FL plant. We believe by consolidating all Duraflex production in one location we will be able to better serve our commercial and military customers.
We anticipate this transition to be completed mid-year 2019. The Largo, FL plant is well equipped and staffed to handle the complexities of our Duraflex line. We are excited to have all Duraflex production in one location and look forward to serving your plastic hardware needs in the future.
Largo has an elevation of only 10 meters and is less than 7km from the gulf of mexico, it seems that consolidation to such a location would be a liability
We have the ability to move production from Largo back to Miami Lakes if there were a significant storm. There are contingency plans in place.
