KNF Expands Manufacturing Plant

The newly expanded USA headquarters facility and manufacturing plant for KNF Neuberger introduces key industry innovations in design and production enabling highly streamlined and efficient parts storage, material flow, and product assembly.

The facility in Hamilton Township, NJ (near Trenton) manufactures standard and custom diaphragm pumps for air, gases, and liquids as solutions for OEM, Process, and Laboratory applications. The latest expansion increases the site’s total footprint by 56 percent to more than 50,000 sq. ft.

KNF constructed the facility in 1994 and has expanded four times in response to business growth. Approximately 100 employees work at this location.

Among noteworthy innovations, a computerized “vertical parts storage” system minimizes required floor space and maximizes access with sophisticated software and controls; implementation of a lean manufacturing process flow for an array of individual product lines allows for customization; and a range of improvements in material flow contribute to enhanced inventory management and timely manufacturing.
