This NAFEM member company, based in Wayne, N.J., is in the midst of a two-year expansion plan to revolutionize operations. The first phase involved the acquisition of two new facilities in New Jersey, adding 120,000 square feet which provides Krowne with 350,000+ square feet of manufacturing and distribution space overall. The company also opened a new corporate headquarters in May, focusing on improved technology to enhance innovation and collaboration among associates.

Construction of a new “smart factory” is the most significant part of the expansion. The facility includes the latest advancements in automation and robotic technology to link all machinery and automate material handling. The investment in new machinery increases capacity by 50+% and streamlines operations. According to Kyle Forman, president of Krowne, “Investing in the future is our top priority and this is the single largest expansion in the history of Krowne. This will transform our facilities and enhance our capacity, quality and service.”
