Schweiss Doors expands

By General Aviation News Staff · June 2, 2015 ·

FAIRFAX, Minn. – Schweiss Doors, a manufacturer and installer of liftstrap bifold doors, one-piece hydraulic doors and designer doors, has opened a new electrical facility.

“Recent growth in the door market due to our innovative electrical door engineering concepts and our growing roster of door products made this expansion necessary,” says Mike Schweiss, owner of Schweiss Doors. “This new building, 20,000 square feet, offers assembly space for our engineering purposes. Additionally, the electrical room is attached to our existing warehouse and manufacturing plant, effectively centralizing all the operations at the company headquarters under one roof for even greater efficiency.”

Utilizing a five-overhead trolley system, it’s easier for employees to move hydraulic cylinders and new Red Power units throughout the electrical room, according to Schweiss.
