Langbank,
SK— Seed Hawk Inc. is pleased to announce that they have commenced
construction of their new $2.8 million manufacturing facility. The new
facility will expand production from 130 machines to 300 machines per
year,and allow Seed Hawk to continue to expand their marketing efforts
without compromising the services offered to existing customers.
“The
new facility will allow us to serve our Canadian and International
customers better. With the increased world-wide demand for our one-pass
air drills, we need to increase our production capability, while
maintaining quality control,” says Brian Dean, Vice-President and
Product Development Manager with Seed
Hawk at Langbank, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The
new facility will include 15,000 square feet of manufacturing space,
4000 square feet of office space and will allow for increased
year-round production, resulting in greater efficiencies and cost
savings. The expansion is partially a result of the minority investment
of Swedish company Väderstad in Seed Hawk, which took place in 2006.
This agreement opened up new international markets for Seed Hawk,
necessitating the need for a new manufacturing facility.
“When
completed, we anticipate the manufacturing facility will help us be
more responsive to changing farmers’ needs,” says Dean. “It solidifies
our reputation for producing high-quality, accurate seeding equipment.
It also is required so Seed Hawk can meet the increasing market demand
for our product.”
Seed
Hawk Inc. was established in 1992 to develop a drill that seeds, bands
and packs in one pass. Seed Hawk has progressively developed the Seed
Hawk onepass drill and now has over 700 seeders in the field. Employing
45 staff, Seed Hawk currently operates out of a 2,000 square foot
office with a 24,000 square foot manufacturing facility. A new
manufacturing facility is also currently under construction that will
triple their current production capability. As a company stablished by
farmers, agrologists and engineers, Seed Hawk strives to develop the
most accurate seed and fertilizer placement systems to help farmers
seed more efficiently and profitably. Seed Hawk is located two miles
north of Langbank, Saskatchewan on Highway #9.
