Ridewell expands manufacturing plant

Ridewell Suspensions has expanded its Springfield MO facility. A manufacturer of air-ride suspensions for the truck, trailer bus, and RV industries, Ridewell recently completed a 53,000-square-foot addition to its manufacturing plant.

Driven by the company's need for increased manufacturing space, the expansion includes an automated axle line to efficiently integrate Ridewell Axles with Ridewell Suspensions. The new space allows the firm to install new robotic equipment to handle larger suspensions for the motorcoach/recreational vehicle markets.

The expansion officially opened in January 2008.
