WesternOne Equity Income announced that the first modular
buildings are rolling off the production line in Britco's new Waco, Texas
facility.
The plant which had been idle for three years before Britco purchased it in September
2011, now has 80 employees.
"We are very excited to see the first finished modular units from our Texas facility and look forward to designing and building workforce accommodations for our customers in the United States," stated Mr. Darren Latoski, CEO of WesternOne Equity.
In recent months Britco has made two
significant strategic acquisitions. On February 1, Britco acquired a production
plant in Edmonton, Alberta. In the fall of last year, Britco,
through its indirectly-owned subsidiary in the USA,
purchased a large manufacturing facility in Waco, Texas.

Currently, Britco is working on the largest project in its
35 year history - a project valued at approximately $50 million for a large
energy company in Alberta.
Britco is providing 880 rooms which will be contained in ten 2-storey dorm
wings totaling 280,000 square feet. The rooms, which are currently being
manufactured in Britco's Agassiz and Penticton plants, are 200 square foot
executive style accommodations that have private washrooms, flat screen TV's
and high-end hotel quality finishes.
Despite the continuing uncertainty in the economy, last year Britco created 177 new jobs. The primary driver for Britco's growth is the demand for workforce housing in the energy, mining and infrastructure sectors in BC, Alberta and the southern USA.
