In 1976, the company dramatically increased its production capacity by adding 10,660 sq. ft. to its manufacturing area and 1,300 sq. ft. to the office. The increased space allowed Vanamatic to increase the number of screw machines to 18 with total employment now at 31 people.
The area previously occupied by the screw machines was completely renovated and converted to the second operation department. The 1976 expansion also included a 1,300 sq. ft. increase to the existing office space.
