Postle plans two extrusion presses at Howe site

Postle Aluminum plans to install two extrusion presses at a new 230,000-square-foot facility in Howe, Ind., adding capacity for larger profiles and higher-volume trim products.

The company, a subsidiary of THOR Industries, disclosed the project in a July 15 announcement published by the North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA). The announcement highlighted a 10-inch press for larger profiles and a 7-inch press for smaller sections and trim.
