Backed with a $6.5 million U.S. Small Business Administration loan, Lynam Industries Inc. will move to a 72,000-square-foot facility at 13050 Santa Ana St. in Fontana. The loan covers the purchase of the plant from seller Patrick Industries Inc. in Elkhart, Ind., a supplier of products to the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing markets.
The Fontana facility has been vacant for several months.
Founded in Chino in 1989, Lynam Industries has operated in Mira Loma since 1999. With 80 employees, Lynam has outgrown its plant at 11186 Venture Drive. The firm added five workers this year to handle two new customers, President Troy Lindstrom said.
Lynam Industries supplies sheet metal products to original equipment manufacturers, primarily in the data and telecom sector, especially open-frame architecture cable and wiring systems. The manufacturer expects revenue of $16 million this year.
