Uponor North America is expanding its manufacturing facility in Apple Valley, MN beginning late spring 2017, with completion expected by January 2018. The $17.4 million investment will be used toward the expansion of an additional 58,000 sq ft to increase manufacturing capacity to meet customer demand. This is the tenth expansion since Uponor began operations in Apple Valley in 1990. The most recent expansion took place in 2016 when the company invested $18 million and added 88,000 sq ft to its manufacturing facility.

Uponor has also leased an 8,500-sq-ft office and lab space in a building next to its manufacturing annex, which the company’s technology group will occupy beginning mid-May 2017.
