Thordon Bearings has expanded its production capabilities by opening a new plant, addressing the increasing demand for its sustainable bearings and seals. The third manufacturing facility, situated at 3180 Mainway, Burlington, complements the existing plant at 3225 Mainway by offering extra space for non-bearing equipment production and boosting overall output.
With production of high-performance TG100 water-lubricated mechanical seals and water quality packages for marine and hydropower markets at the heart of Plant 3, the company is also housing its New Product Development team and operations of Marsh Brothers Aviation, its sister firm. Anna Galoni, Thordon's Chair and CEO, highlighted the strategic importance of this investment, stating that the expanded facility significantly improves assembly, machining, and office layouts, thereby enhancing throughput, productivity, and efficiency.
This expansion not only meets the rising demand but also optimizes the workforce, which has grown by 32% since the end of 2023. The new plant's opening was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by key local officials, underscoring Burlington's appeal as a hub for Thordon's global operations.
