Miller Fabrication Solutions, a leading steel fabricator serving global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), has dramatically increased its manufacturing capabilities with the opening of its new Pine Creek plant, located on Industrial Park Road in Brookville. Miller acquired the Pine Creek facility, its fourth, in late 2021. Production began in mid-2024 at the 186,000-square-foot plant, which is expected to be fully operational this month.
The expansion positions Miller to increase business by 50 percent in the next three years and creates defining competitive advantages through significant investments in advanced automation.
“With Pine Creek, we have the space to automate frontline operations and significantly grow the business,” President Eric D. Miller said. “The new plant moves parts more efficiently downstream to other operations, while helping us combat persistent labor shortages by allowing us to automate certain processes and redeploy team members to other roles.”
Strategic automation at Pine Creek optimizes the work-in-progress flow from one end of the plant to the other, reducing component handling and exponentially improving throughput. The plant can constantly feed replenishment parts to Miller’s other three plants and improve efficiencies downstream by providing materials precisely when they’re needed for additional work like welding, machining, painting and assembly.
Before Pine Creek came online, Miller said the company was challenged to create first-level operations and components fast enough to support substantial new business opportunities. The strategic expansion positions Miller not just to meet, but also to exceed customer expectations as a robust and responsive manufacturing partner capable of scaling to meet growing market demands.
“Pine Creek will be a transformative investment in our business and the community,” Miller said.
The Pine Creek operation directly addresses critical customer needs by significantly increasing manufacturing capacity and enhancing supply chain reliability. Equipped with sophisticated, next-generation production machinery, the facility enables Miller Fabrication Solutions to offer competitive pricing while maintaining repeatable quality.
When Pine Creek is running at full capacity, it will house highly specialized equipment found at very few American metal fabrication companies, including a TRUMPF TruLaser Center 7030. The laser cutter automatically handles every process from drawing to sorted part, reducing throughput times, parts costs and human handling and creating industry-leading customer efficiencies and a safer workplace.
“Pine Creek is testament to our commitment to improving the lives of our employees, customers, suppliers and community,” Miller said. “It is a cornerstone of our plan to continue running a successful operation for many decades to come.”
Pine Creek will create about 25 new positions for skilled tradespeople. It increases Miller’s shop floor area by 35 percent, bringing the company’s total space to approximately 675,000 square feet.
