On January 8, 2014, Kingsbury, Inc. broke ground to officially begin construction of a new 33,000-square-foot bearing repair and service facility in Yuba City, California. The project by Yuba City contractor Hilbers Inc. should be complete in September.
Kingsbury owner, Arthur Jolly; Kingsbury President and CEO, William Strecker; Kash Gill, Mayor of Yuba City; John Dukes, Mayor Pro-Tem Tuba City; Darin Gale, Economic Development Manager, Yuba City Kingsbury celebrated its centennial in 2012. In 2006, it opened a repair and service shop in Yuba City to serve its Western US and Canadian customers. The location was chosen because of the proximity to numerous hydroelectric, steam and gas power plants in the Western states. After six successful years in a leased building, Kingsbury has made a commitment to the area with a new company-owned facility, purpose-built specifically for expert repair and field service of all types of fluid-film babbitted bearings.
The multimillion-dollar facility will house cutting-edge equipment, incorporate infrastructure to support a 30-ton crane and will be climate-controlled to facilitate the extremely tight-tolerance machining required for the company's products. The facility will provide support for all clients west of the Mississippi River, including all dams and pumping stations operated by the California Department of Water Resources.
