Exodus Global Continues Growth Strategy
Published: 15/1
Exodus Global has completed a significant expansion to its headquarters in Superior, Wisc., adding 27,000 ft2 (2,500 m2) to the manufacturing facility. The expanded space will support enhanced production capabilities, new technology investments, and streamlined operations as the company meets rising demand across its product lines. CEO Kevin Boreen says the decision to expand comes as a direct response to Exodus Global’s rapid growth over the past several years.
“Over the last three to four years, we’ve been on a blistering growth pace and this expansion was necessary to continue that growth,” Boreen explains. “While we have invested millions in machine tools and robotics, it really is our people that make the difference. We would not be where we are without our team.”
A key component of the expansion is the addition of a 20,000-ft2 (1,858 m2) warehouse, addressing a critical need for dedicated space for tools and parts. Curt Klever, Quality Assurance Manager, says where once operators dealt with excessive material handling due to the tight quarters, “the new warehouse allows us to reclaim valuable floor space for manufacturing and helps separate warehouse and manufacturing workflows.”
With additional facilities in Cleburne, Texas, and Bellefonte, Pa., Exodus Global has strategically expanded its footprint across the U.S. The Connect Work Tools location in Texas includes a full rebuild center, parts, service, and sales, with a large stock of hydraulic breakers, compactors, grapples, and pulverizers.
Investment in Robotics and Equipment
A critical aspect of the expansion is Exodus Global’s significant investment in robotics and automation. “We felt like we really needed to get ahead of the curve, and we had to automate,” says Jim Campbell, Sr. Vice President of Operations. “We invested heavily into nine welding robots, a large horizontal boring mill, and a second CNC burn table. We’re reducing costs, reducing run time, and providing our employees with advanced training, elevating their skill sets and preparing the company for future growth.”
The recent acquisition of Rockwheel Americas in 2023 led to the formation of Rockzone Americas, which serves as the North American distributor for RockWheel, RockCrusher, and RockScreener hydraulic attachments. These products complement Exodus Global’s existing ShearCore and BladeCore brands, further solidifying the company’s leadership in providing solutions to the demolition, excavation, and scrap recycling industries.
Despite the company’s rapid growth and expansion, Exodus Global remains committed to building strong relationships with its customers.
“We are definitely gaining market share, and a lot of that is coming from how we take care of the customer,” says Campbell. “The customer is family, and that’s what sets us apart.”
