Weber and Sons Move Button Production to New Plant
Weber and Sons Button Co plans a staged transfer of plastic button manufacture to a new 160 by 100 foot steel building on East Sixth Street. The facility, with 16 000 square feet of floor space and air conditioning, will house extensive machinery for churning washing drying filing drilling and sorting while older buildings on the opposite side of East Sixth Street will be used for storage. The move aims to maintain uninterrupted production during the transition and to reduce flood risk by elevating the new plant above Mad Creek.
