Onspot recently purchased a neighboring 3-acre property in North Vernon, Ind., that includes this 7,400-square foot building. The space will be used as a storage warehouse.
Onspot of North America has expanded its factory in North Vernon, Ind.
The company had been planning to add to its existing 30,000-square foot facility when the building and property next door became available. Onspot chose to purchase the 3-acre property at 1025 Rodgers Park Dr. with its 7,400-square foot building, and it will become a storage warehouse.
Officials said the additional space frees up the room required to add two more CNC (computer numerical control) machines that assist in the production of Onspot’s automatic tire chain systems.
Onspot of North America has been supplying automatic tire chain systems for the past 24 years to over 200 OEMs as a factory-installed option, and to over 1,400 dealers throughout North America.
