Amtech Corporation is expanding once again at its

facility in Wapato. 

The company recently completed its acquisition of Dynamic Fabricators, an Idaho-based manufacturer of cooling tower components. 

Amtech plans to consolidate Dynamic’s operations at its facility in Wapato. According to President Doug Christie. 

“This purchase allows us to better utilize our existing plant capacity and overhead in Wapato. 

The addition of Dynamic’s cooling tower products also diversifies our production and gives us access to another market we do not currently service. The company fits into our longer term growth

plans,” he said.

Christie said it is difficult to grow revenues in a tough economy based on existing product lines. As a result, Amtech is looking at acquisitions and partnerships that can boost its sales. The company plans to add 20-25

jobs as a result of the acquisition.

According to New Vision’s Dave McFadden, Amtech is a bright spot during tough times. 

“I remember when we helped Amtech get located in our Valley,” he said.  “The company started with 15 employees. They have grown steadily over the last eight years I am optimistic that they will continue to expand operations in our Valley.”
