Flexicon marks 40th anniversary with 91,000-square-foot expansion

Expansion doubles the size of the company's US headquarters.


Flexicon marked its 40-year anniversary with completion of a 91,000-square-foot building envelope that doubles the size of its US headquarters.

“With walls, roof and floor now complete, and mechanical systems underway, we are on track to fully occupy the space by March of this year,” said David Gill, president of Flexicon.

The new facility will increase the size of the company’s steel forming, welding, grinding/polishing and blasting/painting departments two-fold and the electrical controls department four-fold. The assembly department will be eight-times larger, and provide 38 feet of clearance for testing of larger systems.

Office space will also expand to a total of 37,000 square feet, housing executive offices, six conference rooms, the electrical engineering department and meeting/training rooms with 400-seat capacity.

“Doubling the size of our US headquarters is a fitting way to mark Flexicon’s anniversary and exponential growth,” Gill said.
