Midwest Metal Products' expanding Indiana facility
Geoff Wendt shinnied down the ledge, ducked under a guide wire and glanced back at the spot where workmen were sliding a new dock door into place. “Can’t afford to have any trucks held up because of a door malfunction,” says Wendt, the 40-year-old president of Midwest Metal Products. “Schedule’s too tight. They’ve got to get in and get out.”
Raw material deliveries are only one headache Wendt must deal with as the steel ring manufactur-er in Michigan City, Ind., completes an expansion project essentially doubling the size of its plant.
