BendPak Inc. has broken ground on a 33-acre industrial complex in Mobile County, just a couple of miles from the company’s East Coast campus.
The global garage equipment manufacturer’s complex will feature several multi-use buildings designed for light manufacturing and assembly, product development and testing, distribution, marketing and sales support.
“We’ve consistently invested in our infrastructure and capabilities, and these bold moves have not only sustained us, but have driven our continuous growth,” said Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO. “The new BendPak Industrial Complex is a testament to our confidence in the future and our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”
