“The need to have a better working environment for our expanding employee base at head office plus the concentration on product development, engineering and training were at the core of our reasons to move” said president Jeffrey Powers. “It was amazing that we stayed that long at our old location considering that sales have grown five fold in the past ten years. Global sales this year are 25% ahead of last year for the first quarter and with new products on the horizon the future looks bright.”

The Brewster property was purchased by the Powers family and the office section was recently renovated at a cost exceeding $5 million, with most going to the engineering and development areas. Powers added a computerized security system, product testing and R&D facilities. There is an employee fitness room and cafeteria.

Founded 85 years ago as the Rawlplug Company, Powers manufactures mechanical and adhesive concrete anchoring systems; powder actuated and gas-fired fastening systems and accessories for the construction and plant maintenance markets. The family-owned firm is operated by Powers and three brothers Christopher Powers, CEO; Stephen Powers, vice president/MIS; and Frederic Powers III, vice president/materials. It has manufacturing facilities in Hudson, MI, and 28 regional U.S. sales locations; two locations in Canada, eight in Australia and New Zealand; one each in Thailand and the Netherlands. �2006 FastenerNews.com
