Aerospace and defense products and services company The Angelus Corp. in June moved into its new Pewaukee headquarters on a 34-acre site northwest of I-94 and Springdale Road. Although it wasn’t a long-distance move — about five miles from its old Sussex facility — the major differences come from the physical space.
At 50,000 square feet, the new facility is twice the size of the old one. It’s also able to be easily expanded to around 100,000 square feet, to keep up with the company’s growth.
“We’ve had strong growth over the last five years in the company, and we simply outgrew our last facility,” said Paul Dieck, chief operating officer of Angelus.
The new digs also feature an open concept, with all managerial offices at the center of the building so that employees can take in 28 acres of natural scenery. The building has a back patio and terrace, large conference rooms and a cafeteria big enough for Angelus to hold companywide meetings.
It also has engineering labs, which allow engineering work to happen in areas away from the manufacturing floor. About 60% of the building is manufacturing and warehouse space, Dieck said.
