AFT, a company that specializes in wastepaper conversion, has announced the launch of its second production line in Bucyrus, Ohio. This $5.5 million investment incorporates the latest technology, robotics, and automation in the industry. The project has maintained AFT’s 33 employees and created six new full-time positions, providing a significant boost to the local economy.
Founded in 1988 by Bucyrus-native Doug Leuthold and his family, AFT is known for converting recycled wastepaper into insulation for residential housing and commercial projects as well as fibers for asphalt paving and industrial applications. In 2018, the company was sold to Installed Building Products (IBP).
This expansion allows for a second production line to produce all of AFT’s products, helping to meet increasing demand for their innovative solutions. Bucyrus Mayor Bruce Truka praised AFT and IBP for their strategic investment, which demonstrates confidence in the local workforce and economic environment. The equipment used in the expansion was manufactured in the US and Crawford County, showcasing a commitment to local manufacturing.
Adam Weiser, AFT’s general manager, expressed excitement about the new plant, highlighting its state-of-the-art technology and equipment. For more information about AFT and its products, visit aft.com.
