Processing Equipment Solutions Inc. has purchased a 108,000-square-foot building on Murphy Boulevard in Gainesville.

The company plans to move from its less-than-50,000-square-foot facility on Chestnut Street.

“With the acquisition of a new facility PES can assure complete control of all processes, increase efficiencies, and therefore decrease costs,” said Philip Hurwitz, sales manager.

The new facility will also house a new customer-friendly sales wing and machine demonstration center, he said.

PES has 52 full-time employees. It added 12 new employees this year and will add more as its business increases, said Brent Hoffman of Prudential Georgia Realty, who represented PES in the acquisition.

PES produces tight tolerance parts for a range of industries including poultry and meat processing, medical, automotive and military.
