Since 2015, the partnership between VIP Structures and Kris-Tech Wire has been a shining example of VIP’s commitment to fostering client growth and the net benefit of efficient design-build delivery.
Our valued and ongoing collaboration with Kris-Tech has led to multiple projects together, showing that our delivery isn’t just about solving current needs, it’s about laying a foundation for future success.
Our journey with Kris-Tech began in 2015 with a vision: to design and build manufacturing and warehouse facilities to support their unique operations and set the stage for future growth. This vision came to life starting with a comprehensive site selection process and led to the design and construction of a new 50,000 SF manufacturing facility that doubled Kris-Tech’s capacity and increased operational efficiency. This initial project set the foundation for a series of expansions, demonstrating VIP’s commitment to adapting to Kris-Tech’s evolving needs.
Design-build offers significant advantages, including the ability to accelerate project timelines while maintaining design flexibility.
VIP completed two more planned expansion projects with Kris-Tech in 2018 and 2019 adding 29,000 SF to their operations. Building on this partnership, the South Expansion, completed in 2024 marked a pivotal milestone for Kris-Tech.
Facing an urgent need to relocate operations from leased space, Kris-Tech turned to VIP for a swift and scalable solution. The resulting 75,000 SF addition was seamlessly integrated with existing infrastructure and has become Kris-Tech’s most significant facility expansion. The South Expansion Project was delivered under budget and completed within an expedited timeframe, crucial to ensuring operational continuity, during a period of significant transition.
Our focus was on creating a custom-designed manufacturing plant that supports Kris-Tech's specialized manufacturing equipment, processes, and flexibility – all central to their operational success.
VIP’s expertise in Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) design and construction played a pivotal role in the success of this expansion. The PEMB’s wide-span interior supported Kris-Tech’s specialized manufacturing equipment and production processes, and early procurement of the PEMB from Varco Pruden (VP) accelerated the project timeline without sacrificing design flexibility. By leveraging Varco Pruden’s VP Command software, the team made real-time adjustments to the PEMB design, offering a dynamic approach to optimize the building layout and ensure the facility aligned seamlessly with Kris-Tech’s operational needs. By recommending PEMB solutions, VIP saved Kris-Tech time and capital, delivering a structure that supported their vision without compromise.
“We partnered with VIP and VP to complete each of our buildings and expansions. This [recent expansion] is a continuation of that same goal of growing and expanding”
What makes VIP stand out is the ability to combine decades of experience with a single point of contact design-build approach.
VIP’s deep understanding of manufacturing, industrial design, and construction expertise was instrumental in achieving the accelerated schedule necessary to support Kris-Tech’s operational success. At the core of this accomplishment is our collaborative design-build approach, bringing together the creative minds of design and construction from the very start. This seamless integration of knowledge from the outset was central to the success of the Kris-Tech projects.
Our relationship, strengthened by each project’s success, stands as a model for how businesses can grow together through shared vision, innovation, and trust.
By prioritizing a detailed understanding of the unique operational manufacturing needs, VIP ensured the facilities developed for Kris-Tech not only supported current operations, but also offered flexibility to accommodate future growth and technological advancements.
For manufacturers seeking quality, value, and a proven partner, VIP’s expertise can help take your facility’s ambitious plans from the seed of an idea to reality.
