Dayco turns old factory into new tech center

metromode, 10/22/2009

Dayco has refurbished a small, old manufacturing plant and turned part of it into a technical center in Roseville.

The automotive supplier bought the assets of one of its customers, which included the 60,000-square-foot facility. The move saved 24 manufacturing jobs and created five new positions in the technical center.

"This facility is growing," says Dan Engler, a vice president with Dayco.

The company took a section of the facility that was used for stamping and turned it into the technical center. That project is part of the $500,000 in upgrades made to the structure.

"When you come in you see the improvements that the employees haven’t seen in years," Engler says.
