FIBA Increases Production Capacity! (February 05, 2008): Due to significant increased global and domestic demand for its products, FIBA Technologies, Inc. has announced expansion of its Millbury production facilities to increase production capacity for seamless steel pressure vessels. FIBA is also taking steps to improve the flow of the manufacturing processes to streamline the operations such that efficiency is improved and lead times are reduced. FIBA has expanded its manufacturing operations to occupy an additional building on adjacent property. Furthermore, ground-breaking for an addition to its existing pressure vessel manufacturing facility is planned for early this spring. We have also secured property adjoining this facility to accommodate the storage of raw pipe materials to meet the increased production output. Additionally, FIBA has expanded some production operations to three (3) shifts. As part of this planned growth, the Principles of Lean Manufacturing, which are taught to all FIBA employees, have been implemented, resulting in a reduction of waste and costs and an increase in output and productivity. The future looks very promising for FIBA as we work diligently to meet the growing demands of our U.S. and international customers, through capacity and product line expansion and process improvements.
FIBA Celebrates 50 Years In Business! (January 31, 2008): To honor 50 years in business, FIBA was featured in the Worcester Business Journal (Worcester, MA).

Today, over 250 employees are located in four plants around the country. Technical innovation and product quality have become the hallmarks of FIBA and have led to the company’s impressive growth.
