Dacon completes AccuRounds 20,000 s/f one-story manufacturing facility expansion

Dacon recently completed a 20,000 s/f one-story facility expansion for AccuRounds, Inc. AccuRounds is a world class lean manufacturer of precision turned components dedicated to lean manufacturing techniques in all areas of the operation. AccuRounds received the Shingo Prize Northeast Silver Medallion in 2006 - the first North American company awarded such recognition. They have been nominated as a 2014 finalist for MassEcon's 11th Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Awards for this project. The addition is a conventional steel shell building with a membrane roof, exterior insulated finish system (EIFS) façade on the front of the building with insulated metal panel on the side and rear elevations and ribbon-effect windows on the front façade. The fully-sprinklered building is air conditioned, serviced by an expanded electrical service and illuminated by energy-efficient T-8 lighting, and has two additional tail board docks. A key component of the project was the relocation of AccuRounds engineering department. A 2,500 s/f open office area was built adjacent to the new manufacturing floor area. Constructed of drywall and six foot tall interior window walls allows for direct inclusion of the engineering department into the manufacturing process. AccuRounds also renovated the entire façade of the existing plant to match the modern EIFS and glass façade of the addition. The existing building also received a new roof and the site was completely repaved and landscaped. AccuRounds occupied the building this past spring. Michael Tamasi, president and CEO, is a second generation owner. Tamasi has worked in the family business since 1985. He is responsible for overall strategy and organizational alignment guided by "The Path to Perfection" - providing opportunity for every member of the AccuRounds team.
