Utilimaster plans expansion Utilimaster Corporation has announced plans to expand its facilities with a $500,000 investment to be completed by June 1. The expansion will involve an additional 16,000 square feet at the company’s paint facility. According to James Orbik, vicepresident of operations, the expansion will increase capacity by 30% and is necessitated by Utilimaster’s recent growth and increased production. In addition to the extra production space, Utilimaster will expand its processes, which were recently cited with the State of Indiana Governor’s Award for Excellence in Pollution Prevention. Last September, the paint facility upgraded its processes to reduce pollution levels, and has partnered with DuPont to assure pollution reduction and improve quality. “This expansion, while increasing the flow of vehicles through the print process, will also involve a considerable investment to carry out Utilimaster’s commitment to provide an environmentally friendly work place,” commented Orbik. “It also allows us to increase production and maintain our status as a good community citizen in the town of Wakarusa.” Utilimaster, established in 1973, employs more than 1200 persons at its various plants in Wakarusa, where the company builds specialty fleets, walk-in vans and delivery trucks.

Take precautions before starting heating, cooling equipment

After a basement flood, homeowners need to take several precautions before attempting to salvage or restart heating and cooling equipment. “It’s important to remember not to immediately restart heating and cooling equipment after a basement flood because it can be dangerous and could cause further damage,” said Ron Yoder of Yoder-Stutzman, Inc. in Nappanee. “Water affects electrical equipment and machinery in several ways. For example, water will short-out electrical equipment if electricity is on when water reaches it. This is one of the reasons why it’s best to have a qualified service technician inspect your heating and cooling equipment before it is started up after a flood.” Homeowners should not be anxious to get things back to normal after a storm because improper maintenance and preparation can cause problems years later. To ensure your safety and prevent further damage to equipment, you should take the following steps after a food before power is reestablished to your equipment. • Turn off all electrical switches

After a storm, have a reputable electrician or a technician from the power company inspect your home’s internal wiring to make sure it’s dry and safe before power is reestablished. • Use only reputable service companies. • Homeowners should also be aware that the following factors will determine if their heating ands cooling equipment is salvageable or needs to be replaced: • The amount of time the equipment was under water. • Whether the electricity was on when the water flooded the unit. • If the equipment is filled with dirt and debris. To find out more about protecting your heating and cooling equipment after a flood, call Yoder & Stutzman, Inc. at 219-773-7012.
