JLG to Relocate Mid-Atlantic ServicePlus Operations

February 21, 2007 • Due to the continued growth of JLG's ServicePlus Mid-Atlantic operation, Joseph Dixon, president of ServicePlus, has announced that the operation will relocate from its leased facility in McConnellsburg, Pa., to the currently closed Weber Lane facility in Bedford, Pa.

 

With the growing military rebuild facility and new production demands, relocation options were limited in the local area. The Bedford facility was chosen because it was close enough to allow for current ServicePlus employees to be retained, and it also allowed for the utilization of a facility already owned by JLG.

 

The added space will facilitate the expansion of current services, as well as the opportunity to improve cycle times with the improved on-site paint system and expanded floor space. It also continues to help ensure the continued success in satisfying the ever-changing customer requirements in a global market, and it supports JLG's strategic objective to derive 35% of its operating income from non-new machine sales. Current plans call for the Bedford facility to be ready for occupation by June 2007.
