Higher demand for mining equipment prompted a Watertown company to invest $4 million in an expansion that will add about 70 jobs.

Angus Industries designs and makes operator cabs that are assembled onto equipment used for construction, agriculture and mining.

The company will use the additional space to make large cabs for mining equipment. It’s also expanding its engineering division.

Angus says more activity in mineral commodities markets has increased demand, so customer orders are up.
