A Dubuque, Iowa, manufacturer plans to invest over $5 million in a new powder coating facility and hire at least 10 new workers.
Charlie GieseGiese Manufacturing will build a 30,000 square-foot facility on a vacant piece of land across from a facility currently utilized by the company for powder coating,
Company president Charlie Giese told the Dubuque Herald-Telepgraph that the new building would house a powder-coating paint line that currently resides in the Giese Manufacturing building where Premiere Powder Coating is housed. When the new facility is completed, Giese Manufacturing told the paper it will repurpose the space currently used for powder-coating operations and continue to utilize the old facility.
“The goal is to break ground in a month,” Giese told the paper. “It might be five to six months (until it is completed), but as soon as we get a roof on, we will start installing the paint line. It is going to be state of the art with the newest technology.”
Giese Manufacturing is a full-service metal-fabrication company offering a wide range of metal fabrication services, from tractor and other machine components and cabinets to steel trusses and beams, stainless-steel sinks, industrial drains, and more.
More than 100 employees work under the umbrella of multiple Giese-owned entities in Dubuque, which includes the manufacturing operation as well as businesses specifically dedicated to roofing, sheet metal and lighting.
In addition to providing powder-coating services for its own customers, Giese told the paper the new line will allow the company to accept work from other entities that are outsourcing these services.
