Exodus Global Continues its growth strategy with major investments in facility and Innovation
Superior, WI – November 18, 2024 – Exodus Global, a leader in manufacturing and engineering solutions for the scrap recycling and demolition industries, completed a significant expansion to its headquarters on Connors Point, Superior, WI. The expansion adds 27,000 square feet to the manufacturing facility, positioning the company to continue its remarkable growth trajectory. The expanded space will support enhanced production capabilities, new technology investments, and streamlined operations as the company meets rising demand across its product lines.
Committed to Growth and Innovation
The decision to expand comes as a direct response to Exodus Global’s rapid growth over the past several years. “Growth is something Exodus Global is committed to as a company,” said Kevin Boreen, CEO of Exodus Global. “Over the last three to four years, we’ve been on a blistering growth pace and this expansion was necessary to continue that growth. While we have invested millions in machine tools and robotics, it really is our people that make the difference. We would not be where we are without our team.”
A Nationwide Footprint
With additional facilities in Cleburne, Texas, and Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, Exodus Global has strategically expanded its footprint across the United States. The Connect Work Tools – Texas location includes a full rebuild center, parts, service, and sales, with a large stock of hydraulic breakers, compactors, grapples, and pulverizers.
The recent acquisition of Rockwheel Americas in 2023 led to the formation of RockZone Americas, which serves as the North American distributor for RockWheel, RockCrusher, and RockScreener hydraulic attachments. These products complement Exodus Global’s existing OilQuick Americas, ShearCore and BladeCore brands, further solidifying the company’s leadership in providing solutions to the demolition, excavation, and scrap recycling industries.
Investment in Robotics and Equipment
A critical aspect of the expansion is Exodus Global’s significant investment in robotics and automation. Jim Campbell, Sr. Vice President of Operations for Exodus Global, emphasized the importance of staying ahead of industry trends. “We felt like we really needed to get ahead of the curve, and we had to automate. We invested heavily into nine welding robots, a large horizontal boring mill, and a second CNC burn table. We’re reducing costs, reducing run time,” said Campbell.
We have provided our employees with advanced training, elevating their skill sets and preparing the company for future growth.
New Warehouse to Boost Production Efficiency
A key component of the expansion is the addition of a 20,000-square-foot warehouse, which resolves a critical need for Exodus Global by providing dedicated space for tools and parts. Curt Klever, Quality Assurance Manager, explained the benefits: “Prior to the expansions, our operators often dealt with excessive material handling due to tight quarters. The new warehouse allows us to reclaim valuable floor space for manufacturing and helps separate warehouse and manufacturing workflows.”
The additional manufacturing space is expected to increase production capacity while minimizing downtime for equipment maintenance. Klever worked closely with Matt Johnson, Vice President of J.R. Jensen Construction, the Superior-based contracting firm, to ensure the expansion met the company’s operational needs.
Customer-Centric Focus
Despite the company’s rapid growth and expansion, Exodus Global remains committed to building strong relationships with its customers. “We are definitely gaining market share, and a lot of that is coming from how we take care of the customer,” said Jim Campbell. “The customer is family, and that’s what sets us apart.”
Exodus Global is an American Owned, family company that manufactures and distributes attachments for the scrap recycling, construction and demolition industries. Our distinguished brands include BladeCore, Connect Work Tools, OilQuick Americas, RockZone Americas, and ShearCore.
