To better serve Trim-Lok’s customers and support the company’s growth, Trim-Lok announces a major expansion in the Midwest. The company entered into an agreement to occupy a new, state-of-the-art facility on the eastern border of Elkhart, Indiana. This new facility will be 150,000 sq ft of manufacturing and warehousing space. Additionally, Trim-Lok will add another 5,500 sq ft of office space to support all facets of the business.
Trim-Lok’s expansion will create many jobs including manufacturing and warehouse jobs. Additional office positions will support the investment Trim-Lok will make into equipment to increase manufacturing capacity and implement new capabilities. This location provides Trim-Lok with shorter transit lanes for raw material and finished goods. It will also allow better management of freight for both Trim-Lok and its customers. With a more central location for customers east of the Rocky Mountains, shipment times will drastically decrease.
“Having manufacturing capabilities in the Midwest is a critical component of our ability to support our customers, especially with the market the way it is currently,” says Dan Whitener, vice president and COO. “We have had a fairly small yet resilient workforce and set of capabilities in our current 27,000-sq-ft facility. With the expansion, we will be growing not only our physical footprint but our workforce and capability set.”
