In 1955 it was announced that a $4,5000,000 expansion project would begin to accomodate the growing company's research and development of equipment using nonferrous metals and the manufacture of metal processing equipment. William L.

In 1963, Hunter Engineering was purchased by American Metal Climax, Inc. of New York and a year later, an additional 120,000 square feet of space was added to the plant.
