Gerber, the Oregon-based maker of personal knives and multitools, has announced the expansion of local employment and plant operations to a 24/7 schedule following the addition of a third shift at its Portland plant. Gerber makes products such as the StrongArm Fixed Blade, Impromptu Tactical Pen, 06 and Covert Automatic knives as well as the MP600 multi-tools at the Portland facility. The company said the decision to expand working hours at the plant was made in response to increasing demand for new and existing products.
