OAK BROOK, IL (March 30, 2022)鈥� AG体育官方网站 Construction has completed the design-build construction of a 112,000-sf precast building with warehouse, manufacturing, and office space for its client, in DeKalb, Illinois.
听
This new headquarters facility for Wehrli is the exclamation point for unprecedented growth and a dramatic business expansion story after the business was started from a two-truck garage a little more than 10 years ago. Most recently, Wehrli was in approximately 35,000 sf of space in another DeKalb location.
听
The new precast facility is built on an 11-acre site, a size that provides the potential for further future expansion by Wehrli, which specializes in high-performance diesel upgrades, powder coating and custom metal fabrication. The building features a two-story 12,000-sf office area, with elevator-accessible space on the second floor for future expansion. The manufacturing area, which totals approximately 100,000 sf includes space for their Performance Department, CNC Machining Operation, Mechanical Department, Powder Coating, Welding, Fabrication, and Laser Cutting, as well as a Research and Development area.
