AMI Machining Inc. Expands Anson County Operations with New Peachland Facility

Anson Economic Development Partnership is pleased to announce that AMI Machining Inc. will be opening a new facility in Peachland and expanding its manufacturing presence in Anson County.   AMI, an advanced metal machining and fabrication company that supplies major regional and national customers with precision machined and fabricated metal components, is investing $750,000 in a new 18,000 square foot facility on U.S. Highway 74, just west of Peachland. The company currently operates from a smaller leased space in Polkton. Company president Todd Treadway indicated that AMI was out of space at the Polkton plant and the move to the Peachland site was prompted by easier access to key customers in the Charlotte region, especially with the opening of the Monroe Expressway later this year.

"It was definitely a consideration," said Treadway from the construction site. "That's one of my trucks passing by right now. From here, when the Expressway opens, it will cut the travel time to our largest customer by half."

The move within the county will also allow the company to retain its highly skilled local workforce. "We currently have 17 employees, all of which will be making the move with us, and we will be adding at least two new hires as the result of the expansion."

"It's a familiar story," said AnsonEDP executive director John B. Marek. "Workforce, location and transportation infrastructure are the primary competitive advantages Anson County offers. And with the opening of the Monroe Expressway this fall, those advantages only become more pronounced. We're seeing a lot of interest in this part of the county; industrial, commercial, retail, residential. The section of U.S. 74 between Marshville and Peachland is poised to be the Charlotte region's next development hot spot."

    Treadaway, This is the correct spelling of the last name. Their are 3 sets of Treadaway families from Anson county and the name is now and has always been Treadaway. Not sure if this is a typing error or if this was written by someone that is not from the area, but someone might want to consider proof reading articles prior to posting them. Once again "Treadaway" is the correct spelling .
