BG Products adds 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Kansas
BG Products has acquired the Vornado Air facility in Andover, Kan, adding approximately 300,000 square feet of office and warehouse space to its operations.
The company, which provides automotive maintenance solutions, did not disclose an investment amount or the number of new jobs associated with the acquisition.
BG Products said additional space is needed to accommodate growing demand on its Wichita, El Dorado and Derby, Kan., facilities. The company did not provide details on what products will be manufactured at the Andover facility, production rates or specific technologies that will be implemented there.
The acquisition follows several previous expansions by BG Products in Kansas. In 2023, the company completed a 51,000-square-foot expansion at its Derby campus. The new space was used for the BG Automation division, which offers automation and robotics, machining and assembly, and custom signage and promotional products.
“The demand on BG’s Wichita, El Dorado, and Derby facilities has grown rapidly the last five to 10 years, and more space is needed,” said Ron Garcia, executive vice president and COO of BG Products.
