A M King announces its newest project with long-time partner ALDI, Inc., an expansion to a storage and distribution facility in Olathe, Kansas. A M King, a full service design-build and construction services company serving the commercial, industrial, food manufacturing and food distribution industries nationwide, will update an existing ALDI structure.
“ALDI is a growing company throughout the U.S. and A M King is proud to continue meeting its expansion needs,” project manager Carl Morse said. “This building conversion will incorporate elements of similar ALDI centers nationwide, yet have components that are adapted to meet needs in the Kansas and regional markets.”
The facility will include 68,000 SF of freezer space, 44,000 SF of dry warehouse space and 3,000 SF of office space. The existing facility will remain in operation throughout the project. The expansion will incorporate changes to refrigeration, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and an updated interior skin.
“This project is important to ALDI and its team on many levels,” Morse said. “By keeping existing facilities operational, they will be able to meet present demand while putting infrastructure in place for future growth.”
Environmentally sensitive components include LED and high-efficiently lighting and variable frequency drives on new equipment. A M King has actively engaged local utilities to develop systems that best conserve and use resources wisely.
A M King completed the design phase and started construction. Construction is expected to last one year.
