L.B. Foster Company has announced it plans to relocate its Spokane, Wash., precast building manufacturing facility to Nampa, Idaho, with plans to cease operations at the Spokane by the end of this year.
“This move will help strategically position us to optimally serve our Western U.S. marketplace, and provide us access to new customers,” said L.B. Foster President and CEO Robert Bauer.
When fully commissioned in early January 2020, the Nampa, Idaho, facility will employ approximately 80 people.
“We are excited to join the Treasure Valley business community and are looking forward to developing strong strategic alliances throughout the region for years to come,” said Steve Burgess, president, CXT, Incorporated, L.B. Foster’s wholly owned subsidiary.
The purpose-built plant is situated on 10 acres with 79,000-square feet dedicated for manufacturing and 5,000-square feet for offices and employee areas.
