Busy DynaBil adds plant, hires workers, expects big bump in sales
A new 33,000-square-foot plant, the latest expansion at DynaBil Industries Inc. in Coxsackie, will help double annual revenue within three years, said company president Paul Burton. The aerospace manufacturer will hire 70 workers, pushing its total work force to 300 by the end of this year. That's almost twice the staff DynaBil had two years ago. The company had already hired 50 employees ahead of an announcement about the new building Feb. 4. DynaBil has been boosted by its role as a parts supplier to Boeing Co.'s 787 "Dreamliner" airplane. The new manufacturing plant gives DynaBil needed space, Burton said. .
