MJB Wood Group will host a grand opening Wednesday for its new 500,000-square-foot facility in Bristol, Indiana. The building will replace a 228,000-square-foot facility the supplier had outgrown, the company said.
MJB said the increased capacity from the new building will help the company meet customer needs, including RV manufacturers. The past five years, MJB said it exceeded 18% revenue growth year-over-year.
“We are excited to open this new facility because of MJB’s commitment to the vibrant RV industry in Northern Indiana and the surrounding areas,” said Scott Griggs, president of MJB Wood Group. “This new facility will improve the efficiency of inbound and outbound freight, which will allow MJB to deliver more freight on time, while respecting the tight receiving window of customers.”
The new facility includes a 100,000-square-foot fabrication area enabling MJB to offer services such as cut-to-size, CNC machining, moulding, kitting and light assembly.
“We have invested tens of millions of dollars in our new facility in Elkhart County because of the area’s strategic importance to the RV industry,” said Jeff Messick, executive vice president of MJB Wood Group.
The new facility will house 100 employees, twice the current facility’s number. Stonemont Financial Group developed the project and ARCO Construction Company served as general contractor.
The grand opening will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Central time at 103 Stonemount Court in Bristol.
