BLOOMING PRAIRIE, MN - Minimizer has experienced considerable growth during that past 25 years. Recent years have seen the company gain market share internationally and with a robust multi-national distributor network. Military product applications have also afforded new opportunities.
"Now is the time to expand our physical plant to allow for continued growth," said Craig Kruckeberg, Minimizer Chief Visionary.
Currently Minimizer's production, sales and administrative operations are consolidated on one campus in Blooming Prairie, Minnesota. Kruckeberg recently announced the purchase of a 3-acre site with multiple buildings also located in Blooming Prairie that will house sales and administrative personnel. The result of this move will allow for expansion of the manufacturing capacity at the original campus.
"We need additional space for our sales and administrative staff as well as more manufacturing capacity," said Kruckeberg. "This move will allow for both of these. We're really excited about this change and the breathing room it will give us to grow and better serve existing and new markets."
The total additional space afforded by the new location will be approximately 20,000 square feet. And Minimizer hopes to open the doors in January of 2011.
When asked about the community investment, Blooming Prairie mayor Harold Peterson was positive. "This is a terrific move for our community," said Mayor Peterson, "We're very fortunate to have a growing company like Minimizer that provides so many good paying jobs for our citizens. We look forward to the future, the growthof Minimizer and the growth of the city, and our ability to continue to provide a well educated and hard working workforce for Minimizer."
