“It is close enough to our main customers and the right-size square footage,” Schumann said in a statement.

The site also leaves further room to expand, the company said. Industrial Property Brokers identified some of the site’s features as 3,500 square feet of office space, heavy power and a manufacturing space not interrupted with columns.
