Hope you didn't notice... We Moved!!!

February 2003  Construction was completed on the new 30,000 sq. ft. facility and the company moved in February 2003.  The additional space has allowed for improved material handling, better product flow, addition of a dedicated assembly area, centralized tool crib, and expanded rubber molding area.  Another major benefit of the move includes improved IT and Telecommunications capabilities with the new T1 connection, allowing for direct inward dial, improved internet access, and website and email hosting.

Proturn thrives, makes expansion moves... 

May 14, 2002  The Oregonian, Metro South News, JIM KADERA   Expanding sales and the opportunity for further growth led the Mobleys this month to begin construction on a $1.5 million building several blocks away on Fir Street near Fred Meyer. They expect to move Proturn to Fir Street by year end. The new building will have almost 30,000 square feet, more than twice what they are leasing.  (Click on the link above to read the entire article...)

Official Groundbreaking at New Fir Street Site

May 9, 2002  Proturn employees celebrated the groundbreaking of their new 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility Thursday as a track hoe began clearing trees and brush from the site.  Proturn owner Steve Mobley made a few brief comments to commemorate the occasion beginning with "Well, we've come a long way in the fifteen years since we disconnected the furnace to run three machines in the garage of our house.."

The company has indeed come a long way since it's humble beginnings, now employing 26 workers and occupying more than 12,000 sq. ft. of nearby Red Soils Business Park.  Proturn's primary focus in the beginning was production CNC Turning with later expansion into Urethane Foam Molding.  As the company's reputation for quality and on-time delivery grew, participation in dock-to-stock and JIT programs were a natural progression.  Proturn now regularly handles complex assembly projects and enjoys Preferred Vendor status with many of it's customers.  Recent expansion into screw machining and rubber molding have opened the door to new opportunities for growth.
