A Complex, Rapid, and Tailored Manufacturing Expansion
CLIENT NAME: Silgan Containers
PROJECT TYPE: Spec-to-Suit Manufacturing
LOCATION: Kenosha Corporate Park, Kenosha, Wisconsin
CLIENT OBJECTIVE:
Silgan Containers, a leading metal can manufacturer, sought to expand operations and expressed interest in occupying Zilber Property Group's (ZPG) first speculative building at Kenosha Corporate Park.
- The facility spanned 525,000 square feet and would accommodate Silgan's need for 300,000 square feet for warehousing and distribution and 225,000 square feet for manufacturing.
- Due to their specialized manufacturing processes, the facility required a distinct build-out, including food-grade compliance, a quality assurance lab, flammable liquids storage, heavy electrical distribution, and soundproofed office layouts.
OUR SOLUTION:
Build-outs, enhancements, and food-grade upgrades were successfully completed, providing Silgan with over 372,000 square feet of warehouse space in the second building.
- The project began with the development of an optimized plant layout to enhance productivity and functionality.
- ZPG addressed everything Silgan needed for their specialized processes including an additional 4,000 amps of power and custom mechanical systems.
- The project team collaborated closely to overcome challenges and adhered to a tight timeline, allowing Silgan to begin operations promptly.
- Following the successful completion of the first facility, Silgan selected ZPG's second 372,000 square foot speculative building in the corporate park to address their additional warehousing needs.
PROJECT OUTCOME:
This project demonstrated ZPG's commitment to simplifying client growth opportunities and optimizing operational efficiency.
- Our team's strategic approach and speculative building strategy enabled Silgan Containers to become fully operational in their manufacturing facility within six months.
- The tailored build-out in the first building met Silgan's advanced manufacturing needs without the time and complexity of constructing a facility from the ground up.
- ZPG's second building offered an ideal solution for Silgan's expanding warehousing requirements, further supporting their growth.
