DeWITT, N.Y. — The Raymond Corporation on Friday formally opened its new RayBuilt Center of Excellence at 6581 Chrysler Lane in DeWitt.
The facility will remanufacture Raymond forklifts, including the truck body, along with the truck’s components, including motors, drive units, handles, and hoses, according to a news release issued the same day.
The facility spans more than 40,000 square feet for the remanufacturing area, as well as more than 40,000 square feet for the Raymond leasing division.
Raymond also used the event to announce the expansion of its parts division with the addition of more than 40,000 square feet at its distribution center located at 6650 Kirkville Rd. in DeWitt.
In the center, the remanufactured product line will grow to include additional drive units and steer gear motors, Reach-Fork truck carriage assemblies, and hydraulic pump and motors.
Workers in the RayBuilt Center of Excellence will also cut new lift-chain assemblies, the company said.
“The RayBuilt Center of Excellence products are exclusively supported by the Raymond Corporation, utilizing the exact same engineering specifications and Toyota production system (TPS) principles as all Raymond manufacturing facilities follow,” Michael Field, CEO at the Raymond Corporation, said in the news release. “The creation of the new RayBuilt Center of Excellence will further support our continued growth, as well as support all our customers’ evolving needs with end-to-end solutions … from forklifts to parts to leasing.”

The Raymond Corporation designs and builds electric lift trucks, according to its website. It is also a provider of fleet management and forklift training and support to “increase efficiency and lower costs throughout material-handling operations,” according to its news release.
