Mossberg will expand its 85,000-square-foot building by another 45,000 square feet, said Jim Khorshid, vice president.

“Our main goal is to improve product flow through the building. We’re going to be moving all our existing machinery lines in the new building, which will immensely help our product flow,” he said.

The addition will have a higher ceiling and an overhead crane.

Mossberg extrudes the cores for its spools, and injection molds the ends, called the flange. The company also molds pails.

Garrett City Council approved a $1.9 million tax abatement on construction improvements and a $250,000 abatement for equipment.

Khorshid said the equipment abatement includes more work to update an extrusion line, buy molds and possibly add an injection molding machine in the future.

Mossberg needs more capacity, and the addition gives company officials flexibility to add at least 10 more injection presses, if needed.

“We’re hoping to grow through time and we’d be able to meet any of our customers’ needs because we’ll have the space,Where to buy or purchase plasticmoulds for precast and wetcast concrete?” Khorshid said.
