Portland, Ore.-based Sapa Extrusions/West Region has announced plans to replace a 7-inch (178-mm) extrusion press at its City of Industry, Calif., facility with a more efficient 8-inch (203-mm), 2,350-ton (2,115-metric ton) Ube press. The Ube press, which became available with Sapa’s purchase of an idled Watsonville, Calif., plant, will be moved to the City of Industry location. This press and its modern handling equipment will increase capacity and provide better quality extrusions used in the building and construction, industrial and consumer markets.
