Building:

 

In July 2015, the Company committed to proceed with a 27,300 square-foot building expansion project. The new, 27,300 square-foot structure will contain a 20,500 square-foot production floor in addition to offices and ancillary facilities and is expected to cost $3.5 million. The building will be an addition to IKONICS 37,000 square-foot building on its Morgan Park site in western Duluth, which currently houses AMS production, warehousing, shipping and film conversion for all IKONICS business units. All AMS activities will relocate to the new facility with an expected project completion date in second quarter of 2016.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company committed to purchase $140,000 of software related to the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  The new ERP system will better support and accommodate IKONICS’ operations and replacing the Company’s existing ERP system.  The total ERP system project is expected to cost approximately $400,000 and is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2016.
