MASABA, Inc., a manufacturer of custom-designed bulk material handling systems and processing equipment, has announced the grand opening of its new 147,500 sq. ft. metal fabrication and office facility in Vermillion, SD. The company officially celebrated this occasion with an open house event on October 16, 2025.
The new building, located adjacent to MASABA's existing 211,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, includes 120,000 sq. ft. of fabrication space and 27,500 sq. ft. of office and ancillary areas. The expansion represents a major investment in advanced steel fabrication technology, with more than $15 million in new equipment installed to centralize and automate steel processing.
Just a year after breaking ground in April 2024, the new building was completed to the point that production was able to begin there in early May 2025. By September 2025, all plate and structural steel processing had fully transitioned into the space.
"MASABA continues to invest in our team, our partners, the industry, our community, and American manufacturing," noted Jerad Higman, MASABA founder and CEO. "This facility allows us to streamline production, expand our capacity, and strengthen our ability to deliver the quality and reliability our customers expect. It is also a commitment to Vermillion and South Dakota, where we are proud to continue building `MASABA Tough' equipment."
The new manufacturing facility not only expands fabrication capacity for MASABA, but it also enables the company to repurpose its former steel processing area into additional welding and assembly bays, aligning with MASABA'S long-term growth strategy.
