Principal products include electrical conduit fittings, panel boxes, and lighting fixtures. The SIC Code is 3644, Non Current carrying wiring devices. Hubbell purchased the plant in 1984 from a private owner (J. Desloge). Killark manufactures enclosures and fittings for use in installations such as chemical plants, pipelines, grain elevators, coal handling facilities and refineries.

The plant is leased, supplied by city water and is heated via natural gas space heaters. The site is 158,000 square feet of floor area, covering Office, Production, Warehouse, Laboratory and 900square foot offsite testing facility. There are 200 employees working two shifts starting at 6AM, 2:30PM and 12:30 AM. Principal raw materials are semi-finished aluminum and iron castings (95% of the castings are aluminum) purchased from various vendors, either die cast or sand molded, cutting fluid for machining, along with powder coat and wet paint.

The plant has the following major process areas:

Machining (drilling, threading, tapping, milling, turning, shearing, forming/punch pressing, tumbling, machine shop);

Finishing (3-stage washer, drying oven, powder coat spray booths (3), cure oven, burn-off oven, and a 1-stage alkaline soap washer with 1- wet lacquer paint spray booth). Ninety percent of the metal parts processed are powder coat painted and ten percent are wet spray painted, the latter tending to be larger parts.
