Alton Industries Moves into New Facility in DuPage Business Center

Design-build construction is complete for the192,880 square foot build-to-suit warehouse and office facility for Alton Industry Ltd. Group.  The power tool fabricator relocated its U.S. operations from Batavia, Illinois to a new 12-acre site in West Chicago within the Fox Valley industrial submarket. The new location will streamline both operational and product development processes for their retail partners. As design-builder, MHC assisted Alton with site selection and due diligence for the precast and structural steel warehouse, as well as optimizing the design and layout of the building on the site to accommodate both current needs and future expansion. The new facility is strategically located within the 640-acre DuPage Business Center with convenient transportation access to I-88, I-355 and the DuPage Airport.  A ribbon cutting ceremony was held by Alton to commemorate the new facility now in full operation.
