Harvey Industries, Inc. will expand its manufacturing operations in Springfield, Mass., and construct a new manufacturing facility in the Chicopee River Business Park, a Westmass Industrial Park. The successful vinyl window and door manufacturer currently leases space on Cottage Street in Springfield, but has grown considerably, creating the need for a new larger facility.

"This new facility will more closely replicate Harvey’s newest manufacturing facilities and will become its newest showcase,” says Tom Russell, senior vice president of manufacturing, Harvey Industries. “The company and its owners take great pride in its employees and its facilities, and the new site, with its close proximity to our leased space in Springfield will allow Harvey to retain all its present employees and continue to add manufacturing jobs to this region’s economy.”

Harvey Industries’ new manufacturing facility will be located in the Chicopee River Business Park on a site of approximately 30 acres which is in both Chicopee and Springfield. The new building will be approximately 255,000 square feet in area, an increase of over 100,000 square feet.

More than 230 people are employed at Harvey’s current manufacturing site, and this expansion is expected to add a significant number of quality jobs. A groundbreaking is expected in 2007.
