Dayco turns old factory into new tech center

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.Source: Dan Engler, a vice president with DaycoWriter: Jon Zemke
