Plans have been announced for the construction of a 1 million square foot manufacturing facility in Casa Grande, Arizona, that will belong to an internationally known bathroom and kitchen products company. Based in Kohler, Wisconsin, the nearly 150-year-old Kohler Company specializes in a wide variety of plumbing products as well as cabinetry, furniture, and tiles. The company now wants to build a new plant that will specialize in the production of bath and shower fixtures on some 216 acres in Casa Grande. In a statement, Shawn Oldenhoff, Kohler president, said the new facility will provide “the needed capacity to support our strong growth projections for Sterling Vikrell bath and shower products.” The announcement comes after extensive talks between Arizona and Kohler officials. Sandra Watson, chief executive officer of the Arizona Commerce Authority, characterized the company as a “global leader in design, innovation, and manufacturing,” adding that its presence in Casa Grande will create hundreds of local jobs. As planned, the facility will also include warehouse and office space on a site allowing for future expansion. By Garry Boulard
