Sept. 24, 2024
The first phase of construction will last until the third quarter of 2025.

BendPak announced that it broke ground on a new industrial complex on 33 acres in Mobile County, Alabama. Only a few miles from the company's East Coast campus, the new facility will include some manufacturing and assembly, product development and testing, and distribution, sales, and marketing support.

“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 first phase of construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2025 with additional phases to follow. BendPak said that its new site will feature the flexibility to handle additional growth and layout changes as the project develops. 

“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. With the Alabama Port Authority and APM Terminals expansion plus the increasing opportunities in Mobile, we are proud to see companies like BendPak contributing to our economic development and creating new jobs for our residents.”
