After
Tippmann Group completed a public refrigerated warehouse
for Summit Cold Storage, it didn’t take long for
Summit to come back asking for more. They filled their
warehouse within one year after it was completed. That’s
when Summit contacted Tippmann about expansion.
Summit’s
customers were in need of more space. As an owner/operator
of 40 million cubic feet of refrigerated warehouse space
themselves, Tippmann Group knew how important it was to
get the job done quickly, not only for Summit, but also
for the benefit of Summit’s customers. Tippmann
Construction specializes in refrigerated warehouses, and
used their fast track construction process to get the
job done right as quickly as possible. Summit President
John Kucharski said he chose Tippmann Group because he
was extremely pleased with the quality of Tippmann’s
work on Phase I of Summit’s warehouse.
As
in most of the buildings designed and built by Tippmann,
the master plan allows for expansion, making it easier
when the need arises. The end result of Summit’s
81,000 square foot expansion allowed the company to increase
the size of its warehouse without the need for additional
infrastructure.
