Brook Electrical Distribution, a subsidiary of Sonepar USA, recently announced the grand opening of its new headquarters in Addison, Ill. The new location occupies over 170,000 sq. ft., and employs over 100 associates. The facility officially opened its doors March 17.
The new headquarters represents an upgrade in both space and capabilities for Brook, which increased its square footage by over 100,000 square feet, and went from having four shipping docks to 16 at the new location.
“The additional square footage will support the continued growth and expansion that Brook has experienced throughout the entire Chicago metro area,” said Mike Wall, president of Brook Electrical Distribution. “Additionally, our new headquarters is strategically located in a central location to our delivery territory, which provides more flexibility when serving customers in all locations around Chicago.”
The new headquarters is equipped with energy-efficient lighting throughout the entire facility, with occupancy sensor technology installed in each office for additional energy savings.
In addition to the new corporate headquarters, Brook announced the grand opening of a new branch in Libertyville, Ill. The new location currently employs six associates, and occupies 4,900 square feet. The new location opened May 12.
