Prinsco to Open Production Facility in South Dakota

Prinsco announced it will open a new production facility in the Greater Sioux Falls area of South Dakota. The expansion aims to provide greater capacity and improved service for customers in the upper Midwest.

“With this expansion, no other company will be able to match Prinsco’s level of service in the upper Midwest,” said Kent Rodelius, agricultural sales manager at Prinsco, Inc. “This move is another example of our continued commitment to the agricultural market.”

While the expansion will aim to provide benefits for agricultural customers near the I-90 and I-29 corridors (South Dakota, Nebraska, Northwest Iowa and Southwest Minnesota), the new South Dakota location will also aim to benefit the construction and highway markets. The plant will provide increased capacity in the Midwest, and will also help to improve logistics, especially during busy spring and fall seasons, the company said.

Prinsco opened its first manufacturing facility in Prinsburg, Minn., in 1975. With acquisitions in 2000 and 2004, Prinsco added production facilities in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. The company then expanded into the Western U.S., opening a plant in Fresno, Calif., in 2008. The South Dakota plant is expected to become operational in the summer of 2010.

“The South Dakota plant is yet another example of our commitment to our customers and this industry,” said James Duininck, vice president of sales at Prinsco. “We look forward to servicing our customers from this location.”

Prinsco manufactures high-density polyethylene pipe, fittings and accessories for the water management industry.
