LOUISVILLE - Collins Machine & Manufacturing Inc. is expanding and moving its Boulder business to Louisville with the purchase of a new building at the Colorado Technology Center.

The local machine shop, which employs 35 people, purchased the 33,960-square-foot industrial building at 1812 Boxelder St. and plans to move to the new location by the end of February.

"It's a much needed expansion," said John-Paul Dion, vice president of marketing and administration. The company is more than tripling its space from its existing location at 5461 Western Ave. in Boulder.

"We've had pretty strong growth through our customers," Dion said. Collins Machine & Manufacturing provides general, contract and precision machining services for the commercial, aerospace and military industries.

S P F Lease LLC sold the building to Collins Machine & Manufacturing. Paige Coker Heiman with Acquire Inc. helped broker the real estate deal.
