Marinette, WI – ChemDesign is pleased to announce the completion of its new technology center. This facility was developed and built by Keller Inc., a construction company with eighty years of experience in project management and building corporate offices. The construction was complete in the fall of 2020. The 25,000 sq. ft. facility houses multiple functional areas and will serve as the centerpiece and communication hub for the company. This new addition to the original ChemDesign manufacturing site reinforces its mission to provide excellence in the tolling industry.
ChemDesign’s technology center houses several functional offices, engineering offices, laboratories, and support staff offices. The campus also includes locker rooms for chemical operators, training rooms, and a lunchroom. The industry-leading design standards made way for the most efficient use of space. The facility is designed with an open plan and has room for fifty administrative employees and visiting contractors. The improved workplace environment will help in attracting and maintaining top-quality talent. The new labs feature state-of-the-art equipment with advanced safety features for ChemDesign’s process support chemists and quality control analysts. With all the departments in one building, it will strengthen company culture and promote collaboration that goes into leading-quality toll manufacturing.
In addition to improved technical efficiency, the tech center enhances ChemDesign’s existing customer service platform. For our customers and visitors, ChemDesign now has dedicated, collaborative spaces for them to work while on site. The new building includes a visitor reception area, customer conference rooms, meeting rooms, and a media center to foster greater collaboration. The meeting rooms feature the latest in audiovisual and internet technologies to enhance productivity and innovation. The completion of this new building also allows future site expansion through the repurposing of the previous labs to additional production space. The completion of the tech center is another exciting step toward continued growth for the company.
“This milestone reflects our efforts to give our employees a great place of work and give excellent service to our customers. It’s a significant step in our strategic plan for expanding our production capabilities,” said Dave Mielke, President, and CEO of ChemDesign.
