Cook Urological to expand manufacturing space

Buoyed by what it said is the rapid success of its Women's Health division and rising demand for products from its Urology division, Cook Urological (Spencer, Indiana), a division of Cook Medical, will embark next year on a two-year expansion plan, the company said. The construction will double the existing manufacturing space and should provide sufficient additional manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated sales growth for the next five years.

The expansion plan, which is still under review, will add approximately 50,000 square feet to the facility's current footprint of 104,000 square feet. When completed, the remodeled plant will devote the majority of its space to manufacturing operations; some Cook Urological employees in marketing, administrative and other non-manufacturing positions will move to Cook Medical's global headquarters on Bloomington's westside to provide additional production space in Spencer.
