FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- A North Dakota heavy equipment manufacturing company is showing off its $50 million expansion project.

The Caterpillar Reman Drivetrain facility in West Fargo will help produce components for large off-highway trucks and other mining equipment.

Caterpillar acquired the North Dakota assets of Gremada Industries Inc. in July 2008.

Officials say the expansion will increase the capacity of the workforce from the current 300 jobs to 550, though future hiring plans are unclear.

A grand opening ceremony is scheduled Monday at 2 p.m.
