MAJOR, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance wire screen media, is transitioning operations to a new facility in Schertz, Texas, replacing its nearby former location. More than double the size of its previous site, the new facility will increase production capacity and improve operational efficiency to better serve customers across the U.S. aggregates and mining industries and provide better air-conditioned comfort for plant employees.
“While we’re operating close to our previous location, this is a strategic transition for MAJOR,” said MAJOR President Bernard Betts. “The investment in a larger, upgraded facility allows us to respond more quickly to customer needs and deliver the high-quality screening solutions they depend on.”
MAJOR continues to expand its North American footprint, with the new Schertz facility joining locations in Fife, Washington; Candiac, Quebec; and St. Catharines, Ontario. In addition to the North American locations, MAJOR also supports European customers through its Battice, Belgium location.
The upgraded Texas location is 125,000 square feet, more than twice the size of the 55,000-square-foot former building. The expansion allows MAJOR to streamline operations by bringing its cut-and-hook facility and FLEX-MAT production under one roof, while upgraded equipment improves overall production and storage capabilities.
The additional space will increase FLEX-MAT production capacity by 20% and woven finishing capacity by 40%. The facility also has space for further expansion in the future.
The increased production capacity will allow MAJOR to shorten lead times, enhance service responsiveness and further support producers across the United States.
MAJOR also plans to introduce production of its FLEX-MAT Modular product line at the facility in 2027. The expansion will include additional hiring to support operations and ensure continued customer service excellence.
“Our new facility gives our team the space and equipment needed to operate more efficiently while maintaining the quality MAJOR is known for,” said Alain Prevost, Vice President of Operations at MAJOR. “By bringing production and the cut–and–hook operations under the same roof, we’re positioned to improve our customers’ lead times and support growth for years to come.”
MAJOR expects to complete the transition to the new facility in September 2026.
