"Our main customers will be those companies that need space to know how their equipment will work in a new facility, or for overseas companies that are interested in locating here and want to preview their operations before they move," says Steve Pierik, project development manager for Sterling. "The space will be completely prepped as if it was an operating injection molding facility."
Interested customers would be able to complete pre-launch procedures, testing, training, everything that needs to be done while a new facility is on the design board, Pierik says.
"For example, say a company in Taylor needs a new building. It can test its equipment layout plans at our facility to check for inefficiencies and cost savings that can be made," he says.
The charge for the use of the building will vary depending on type of equipment used, space needed and other variables, he said. His company will also work out of space at the facility and will provide resources to the visitors if needed, Pierik notes. Sterling will also install the machinery in the visiting company's new facility when it completes the testing.
