Falcon Opens New Headquarters
Falcon Asphalt Repair Equipment, manufacturer of asphalt hot boxes, tack distributors and recyclers, recently opened its new headquarters in Freeland, MI. The facility features 48,000 square feet dedicated to operations and 5,000 square feet for office space on a 15-acre lot.
“The new headquarter and manufacturing facility allows us to meet growing demand for our products while continuing to improve delivery. We can consolidate operations to one location, which greatly reduces production time,” said Michael Day, president, Falcon Asphalt Repair Equipment. “It’s a time-sensitive business, especially in areas with unpredictable weather, and our long-term vision is to process new orders in less than 30 days. We’re working to set the bar higher, so our customers can fulfill their asphalt repair and maintenance projects sooner.”
Falcon said the company expects the operation to create 50 jobs over the next three years. The facility is located at 2600 W. Salzburg Road, near the intersection of M-10 and M-47 for easy access to main highways.
