Fabrication Plant and Bays
When ADF's new facilities were completed in 1997, room was made for potential expansion, and the new fabrication plant was layed out according to a linear, automated fabrication process.
Today, after several expansions, changes to the vocation of certain bays, and the installation of the latest generation CNC equipment, the Corporation has successfully increased its annual fabrication capacity to more than 100,000 tons, and can still increase its capacity in future plant expansions.
