Boston-Converted Organics Inc. said Jan. 25 that the company has purchased additional fertilizer manufacturing equipment for its Gonzales, Calif., facility to increase production capacity. The new equipment will enable Converted Organics of California LLC to take advantage of additional production capacity for its existing organic fertilizer products, as well as to introduce a specialty fertilizer product line for its customers. After adding the production capacity, the production capacity will increase by over 25 percent. “Our organic fertilizer business has seen consistent record growth over the past year and increasing production capacity will allow the company to continue to have record sales levels in 2011,” said Edward Gildea, Converted Organics president and CEO. “Providing organic specialty fertilizer products is our direct response to certain customer desires, and we will continue to strive to best meet our customers’ demands.” Gildea declined to give approximate capacity totals.
