Caster Concepts breaks ground on $2 million expansion

Caster Concepts Inc., a producer of industrial, heavy-duty wheels and casters, is adding 16,000 sq. ft. to its headquarters in Albion, Mich.

The $2 million expansion will accommodate a larger engineering department, offer additional floor space for product development and testing, and provide room for recent business acquisitions. The company also plans additional truck docks for increased orders and deliveries, more office space, and a larger manufacturing work area and employee facilities.

The location will house 125 employees, multiple machining shops, and four subsidiaries (Aerol, Conceptual Innovations, Reaction Industries, and Fabricating Concepts) under one roof. The expansion, which will bring the building to 90,000 sq. ft., is scheduled for completion in March.
