BendPak Breaks Ground on 33-Acre Industrial Complex

BendPak executives gathered with local leaders recently to officially break ground for its large industrial complex the global garage equipment manufacturer is building on 33 acres in Mobile County, Alabama.

“In times when some companies may choose a more conservative approach due to economic uncertainties, BendPak has always embraced a bullish mindset,” said Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO. “We’ve consistently invested in our infrastructure and capabilities, and these bold moves have not only sustained us, but have driven our continuous growth. 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.”

The complex will feature several expansive multi-use buildings designed to provide an optimal environment for light manufacturing and assembly, product development and testing, and comprehensive distribution, marketing and sales support. It is located just a couple miles from BendPak’s East Coast campus.

“We are thrilled to welcome BendPak to its third site in the wonderful city of Mobile,” said Stephen McNair, director of external affairs, City of Mobile. “Its continued investment in our community speaks volumes about the growth and potential of our region.”

Focused on Supply Chain Efficiency 

BendPak Industrial Complex’s strategic layout has been meticulously planned to streamline supply chain and distribution operations, minimizing handling time and enhancing efficiency. 

Due to the massive size of the project, it is being built in phases, with phase one expected to be complete in fall 2025. 

BendPak said as it continues to scale operations, the new site offers the flexibility to accommodate future growth and expanded manufacturing initiatives.

Gaillard Builders Inc. is serving as general contractor on the project, working with Clark, Geer, Latham and Associates, Inc., and Metcalfe & Company, Inc.
