Aquest Machining & Assembly, a Division of FabX Industries, recently announced the expansion of its Greenville operations. This will result in the creation of 12 jobs and a capital investment of $1.3 million. In 1996, AquestMachiningwas founded in the City of Greenville, where it primarily operated in the cutting and machining of aluminum extrusions. Over time, the company diversified its offerings and customer-base to serve a larger share of the market. The company was acquired by FabX Industries, Inc. in 2018, and now operates under the leadership of President and CEO, Gopi Ganta. With continued growth and new product offering opportunities, Aquest Machining found itself in need of additional manufacturing space. The company plans to establish sheet metal fabrication operations involving laser cutting and forming at its Greenville facility, which will be made possible by the 7,500 square foot expansion of its current building. “Aquest Machining has grown and evolved significantly over the years to better serve our clients, largely due in part to the high- caliber, dedicated team we’ve developed here in West Michigan,” said Gopi Ganta, president and CEO, FabX Industries, “We’re thankful for the hands-on, dedicated assistance of The Right Place, MEA, and MEDC as we brought this expansion to fruition, and we look forward to continuing our growth locally with their support.”
