APPLE VALLEY, Minn. — Uponor North America held a ceremonial “pipe-cutting event” to mark the opening of its $5.5 million, 25,000-square-foot expansion to the Hutchinson, Minnesota facility. This new space will increase the company’s PEX-a pipe extrusion production capacity by more than 10%, while growing highly skilled jobs in Hutchinson in the coming years.
The expansion project broke ground in July 2021 with PCL Construction as the general contractor, Tekton Engineers as the structural engineer, Focal Point Partners as the electrical subcontractor, and Legend Companies as the mechanical subcontractor. The renovated space will allow Uponor to move forward with a major investment in next-generation extrusion technology.
