However with our manufacturing currently currently located at 8290 <br /> NE Main Street, Fridley, Minnesota, production is seriously constrained for lack of space. <br /> Because of the increased demand in customer part requirements Northstar will not be able <br /> to sustain those requirements with its existing facility. Given the company's aggressive <br /> and customer sensitive culture, a new facility will eliminate the added handling of parts <br /> and exorbitant set times it currently faces. <br /> Market Analysis and Segmentation <br /> Northstar's market encompasses all O.E.M.'s that require aluminum or zink die castings <br /> weighing 8 pounds or less.
