“We are at the point in our growth that additional space is required. The growth of our company has been tremendous,” explained Todd Wegman, President of Stevens Industries. “This expansion will allow us to hit our growth targets for the upcoming years. It offers an opportunity to grow in all sectors of our business. The value of the rail facility was a major factor in our decision. The facility and its’ proximity to our headquarters was good, however, the ability to unload and load from the rail, was a key differentiator,” Wegman added. “We are excited to continue growing and investing in the Teutopolis and Effingham areas. We anticipate moving machinery and materials into the space in early 2018.”
