Aerostructures plant that contained 2 of the six super sized extrusion presses built for the 1950's government Heavy Press Program to help build advanced structures for the aerospace industry. This facility contained one 8,000 ton and another 12,000 light alloy extrusion press. Unfortunately the 12,000 ton press was cut up for scrap in the 1990's and the 8000 ton press may have been sold to Korea or China.
