Phoenix  to See  Construction  of  Aluminum  Manufacturing  Plant

Alberta-based company specializing in aluminum production has announced plans to build both its new headquarters and manufacturing facilities on the southwest side of Phoenix.

APEL Extrusions plans to spend up to $100 million building its new presence near the intersection of Lower Buckeye Road and Loop 202.

In a statement, Gerry Price, chief executive officer of APEL Extrusions, said the new facilities will be designed to “serve the industries in the Southwest who need a quality product, including finishing and anodizing, with short lead times and at competitive prices.”

The company, which has another facility located in Coburg, Oregon, was founded in the mid-1970s, offering materials for the construction and transportation industries, as well as solar parts and consumer durables.

Initially providing aluminum extrusions for the Western Canada market, the company now serves a client base throughout the U.S.

The building of the new plant in Phoenix will allow APEL to provide products and services for the growing West Coast market in a matter of two days or less.

As planned, APEL will begin construction later this spring on some 22 acres, with its new Phoenix operations expected to be fully operational by late 2022.

The combined new headquarters and manufacturing plant are expected to measure nearly 324,000 square feet.
