C&J Industries adds new capacity, technology

Meadville, Pennsylvania – C&J Industries announced the purchase of three, all-electric Sumitomo presses to provide increased capacity in the small and medium tonnage range. The company purchased two, 250-ton presses with 22oz barrels, along with one, 50-ton press with a 1.3oz barrel.

“C&J is strategically partnering with our customers to provide greater capacity to meet their growing demand,” states Dennis Frampton, C&J’s president and CEO. “With the purchase of these additional presses, C&J will have 55 presses ranging from 20 tons to 720 tons of clamping pressure. This bandwidth of manufacturing capacity positions us well for continued growth.”

C&J also announced the purchase of a Stratasys performance series Fortus 380 mc, 3D additive manufacturing machine. C&J Industries expects the new addition will bolster its product design and development services.

C&J’s Engineering Manager, Mike Yurkewicz notes, “The Stratasys production machine gives C&J leading edge technology to reduce our customers’ time to market. When combined with an in-house tool shop, we have even greater capacity and horsepower to rapidly develop prototype concepts into commercial reality.”

The company has averaged double digit growth across all market segments since 2008. C&J believes these recent additions to the company’s manufacturing portfolio will ensure continued growth over the next two to three years.
