Curran Mill Machinery, doing business as Brewco Saw Systems, is expanding its operation in Muhlenberg County with a $1.2 million investment.
The project is expected to create 20 new jobs, more than doubling the company’s total employment to 37.
Adding 11,000-Square-Feet
The expansion will allow Brewco to add 11,000-square-feet to the current manufacturing facility and bring the new operational space to 38,000-square-feet.
“This expansion represents the next chapter of growth for Brewco,” said Kevin Curran, President and CEO of the company. “We’ve seen strengthening demand across our product lines, and this investment allows us to build faster, better serve our customer base and grow sustainably in the heart of Kentucky. We’re proud to deepen our roots in Muhlenberg County and excited to add well-paying, high-skill jobs to the region.”
The additional space will allow for new equipment, including jib cranes, the expansion of the company’s current boom crane, welding machines, air systems, benches and approximately six new fabrication stations.
A new, larger paint bay will also be added to meet the specifications of new products.
“Kentucky’s historic economic momentum in recent years is made possible by our incredible skilled workforce and great businesses that continue to believe in this great state,” said Governor Andy Beshear. “Our manufacturing sector has been a big part of our success, providing quality job opportunities to Kentuckians in every corner of the commonwealth. I want to thank the leaders at Brewco Saw for their vision to continue building and growing in Muhlenberg County and look forward to their continued success.”
Brewco has been in business for 35 years, providing high-quality, end-to-end sawmill solutions to the lumber industry.
The company’s full range of sawmill equipment serves customers in the wine barrel, railroad tie, pallet and residential-grade lumber markets.
