Protomet, maker of the PTM Edge Watersports brand, has announced a plan to expand its operations with a new 100,000-square-foot facility and 200 new jobs over the next five years. In 2013, the company doubled the size of its operations in its home base of Oak Ridge, Tenn., with the opening of a $7 million expansion that included 40,000 square feet and cutting edge equipment.
"The new facility will dramatically increase Protomet's capacity and capabilities for the customers it serves," said Jeff Bohanan, founder and CEO of Protomet.
Construction is expected to begin in June of this year, with the new facility expected to be fully operational early next year. Protomet provides high-precision production manufacturing and finishing for clients in a variety of markets including marine/boating, automotive, homeland security, industrial, energy and power. Its PTM Edge line has won the IBEX Innovation Award for its ski/wake towers.
