From nextSTL: NextSTL has learned another North Riverfront Commerce Corridor (NRCC) anchor intends to significantly augment expansion at their manufacturing campus. In 2011 Dial Corp. announced a $50 million upgrade at their 30-acre site. Now the Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. subsidiary is expected to additionally invest approximately $100 million in expansion and renovation between 2014 and 2018.
The Dial manufacturing facility is located on McKissock Ave. between Bellefontaine Cemetery and Mosenthein Island in the city’s Second Ward. 250 employees contribute to the potentially optimal production of up to one million Renuzit air fresheners per day. Purex brand liquid laundry detergents are also made at the north riverfront campus.
Planning for the next phase of expansion is currently taking place. According to nextSTL sources a new Dial product line will be manufactured at the plant. A large warehouse project is also expected to be completed. Engineering firm Ambitech has been hired by the company, and is working on the expansion preconstruction activities. Read more.
