BendPak announces development of industrial complex in Alabama

July 18, 2023
The new complex is set to feature several large multi-use buildings that will provide an optimal environment for light manufacturing and assembly, product development and testing, and more.

BendPak announced it is building an Industrial Complex on 33 acres in Mobile County, Alabama, just a few miles from the company's recently expanded East Coast campus.

“Our business growth through diversification model is opening new doors and business opportunities,” says Jeff Kritzer, BendPak president and CEO. “This is a strategic move as we anticipate continuing growth across our automotive and consumer markets.”

The new Industrial Complex is set to feature several large multi-use buildings that will provide an optimal environment for light manufacturing and assembly; product development and testing; and comprehensive distribution, marketing, and sales support.

With a strategic layout and design, the complex will optimize supply chain and distribution initiatives to minimize handling time. Additionally, it will be able to expedite customer deliveries via advanced logistics systems, automated processes, and efficient order fulfillment capabilities.

“This investment reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional products and services to our customers,” says Don Henthorn, BendPak owner and founder. “This new cutting-edge complex, coupled with our team’s expertise, will empower BendPak to provide end-to-end solutions that not only meet, but exceed customer expectations.”

Over the last six years, BendPak has twice expanded its Santa Paula, California, campus; bought, built, and expanded its East Coast facility near the Port of Mobile; and established a new global headquarters in Agoura Hills, California. 

Phase one of the BendPak Industrial Complex is expected to be fully operational by summer 2025.
