This will expand production capacity and add a new parts and service facility,
Bandit will invest $ 1.4 million in the two expansions. Both are expected to come online in 2018. This is the second round of expansion in two years. Bandit expanded manufacturing space 18 months ago and revamped their assembly lines in anticipation of increased demand. Bandit added 38 people in 2017 and plan to add another 50 employees in 2018.
The new parts facility will also house a central receiving and distribution area, improving the flow of parts and materials to the six major manufacturing facilities. This will free up extra manufacturing space to further increase Bandit’s production capacity. Bandit has added more than a dozen dealers with over 30 total locations in the past two years.
Bandit indicated that as their dealer network expands, the need for parts expands along with it. The new facility will allow Bandit to respond rapidly to their dealers’ and customers’ parts requests, limiting their downtime. The parts and service expansion is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018. As soon as that facility is completed, the second expansion will start that will add production space for new products Bandit intends to introduce in the third quarter of 2018. Source
