The Seattle facilities, previously home to the die casting and powder coating operations, will now feature advanced fabrication capabilities.

RAM Mounts has announced plans to open a new 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Kelso, Washington. The company, which specializes in rugged mounting solutions, has invested in this new facility to focus on aluminum die casting and powder coating.
