IFH Group increases production capability

Dec. 12, 2012
The IFH Group Inc. a metal fabricator and manufacturer of hydraulic oil reservoirs and custom fuel tanks, has completed its second major expansion.

The IFH Group Inc., Rock Falls, Ill., a metal fabricator and manufacturer of hydraulic oil reservoirs and custom fuel tanks, has completed its second major expansion, increasing its space from 106,000 to more than 121,000 ft2 under one roof.  

The most recent addition houses IFH’s non-ferrous manufacturing lines, as it steps up it capability for the production of aluminum sheet steel for its reservoirs, tanks and other custom fabrications.

“This also enables us to expand our ferrous manufacturing by creating additional capacity for steel, stainless steel, and aluminized steel — increasing our capability for supplying large fabrications and tanks,” said Keith Ellefsen, president. “We have dedicated prototyping and employee weld testing cells, and have added four major welding cells with large-capacity material handling equipment.”
