VOLT INDUSTRIAL PLASTICS 2023/24 EXPANSION
Volt Industrial Plastics, Inc. located in Yellville,
Arkansas has raised the bar yet again. They have
recently completed a very important part of their new
36,000 square foot expansion, giving them a total of
just over 100,000 square feet of total operating space.
10,000 square feet of the new addition is primarily for
their CNC/Tool Room, and will provide the much needed
room they have desperately needed for years. This new
space will enable them to add more new and exciting
products like the Heavy-Duty Cable Clamps which will be
completed later this year!
The architects and engineers that designed this new
expanded space did it in such a way that allows Volt to
grow, but continue to remain efficient. Moving forward,
Volt has always prided themselves on keeping up with
technology and will continue to do so. The new CNC/Tool
Room space is and will continue to be housed with the
most up to date equipment so that they can continue
making customer-driven tools with a quick turnaround.
Making the tooling is the first very important step in
getting the product out the door and to their customers.
Since Volt’s inception in 1992 they have had
continuous growth, and several expansions along the
way. The Tool Room is where the company’s founder, Joe
Volltrauer began his career in the fastener industry many
years ago. In 1952 Joe came to the United States from
Vienna, Austria. Along with his few worldly possessions,
he brought with him the European (German) work
ethic that provided the foundation for the business
that he eventually launched through becoming a tool
and die maker himself in Chicago, Illinois. In 1973,
he started his own company, JV Tool, and a couple
of years later moved his family to Arkansas where he
designed his exceptionally functional, high-quality molds
for manufacturers of plastic components, including
plastic fasteners.
