A new manufacturing facility has been opened by StepUp Scaffold in Columbia.

According to reports, the factory boasts a state-of-the-art welding system with multi-bay robotic machinery as well as the potential for expansion, which some sources claim.

StepUp’s new manufacturing plant is scheduled to open its doors on Friday.

In comments made to the media, the company’s Managing Director Knud Hljland has revealed that the company’s first shipments have already left the plant, heading for the east coast and gulf coast regions in the United States.

With a subsidiary in the UK, StepUp Scaffold is a division of Sunshine Enterprises established in Memphis in 1998. In addition to frame and brace scaffolds and ringlock scaffolds, it also manufactures cuplock scaffolds, shoring products, and other access equipment for the North American market.
