Michigan City, Ind.-based Vanair Manufacturing, a provider of vehicle-mounted air compressors, generators, welders and multi-drive systems in the world, announced Oct. 27, 2015 the acquisition of an 80,000-square-foot manufacturing facility from a private owner, bringing the company’s total production and office space to over 160,000 square feet.
The acquisition will accommodate increased growth and future expansion, Vanair says. The new office space, located on Highway 12 in Michigan City, Ind., will provide capacity for increased manufacturing, training, support, service and leadership functions across the company, Vanair adds.
“Our team is excited about the growth we are experiencing, and this move represents our commitment to continue to build on the success our team has accomplished. The existing building is in great shape and has many additional areas for us to grow in—it was a great opportunity versus having to build a new building of this type,” said Ralph Kokot, CEO at Vanair.
