Parmelee Plans Expansion At Local Optical Plant
Parmelee Products Inc announces a one third workforce expansion at its 634 King plant to meet large government orders for optical products for the Armed Services. Thirty new hires will be added with a third shift, shifting hours midnight to 8 30 am. The plant now runs two shifts with 65 employees and will use Kansas State Employment Service for hiring. Existing expansion plans are delayed due to round the clock operation. Parmelee opened the Kansas plant late last year after acquiring nearby land to expand manufacturing capacity.
