Sahara Air Products is adding an additional 17,000+ square feet to their production facility.
The new 2023 addition will mirror the production facility expansion completed in 2015, adding another 17,000+ square feet of production space equipped with new state-of-the-art equipment which includes two 30-ton overhead cranes, additional welding areas, and a paint booth featuring heat cure and makeup.
"Our industry experience enables us to manufacture reliable, custom dryers, products, and services through continuous process improvement," said Terry Henderson, President of Henderson Engineering Co., Inc. "This expansion will enable our company to continue to meet and exceed our customers' expectations."
Sahara’s 2015 production facility expansion doubled the existing production area and provided the floor space and height necessary to more easily accommodate the production of the large custom-designed air dryers that the company provides to customers around the world.
