After the Knapheide Manufacturing Company was flooded in 1993, the company made the decision to relocate their headquarters away from the Mississippi River.
The Korte Company was selected as the design-build contractor for its new truck body manufacturing facility. The concrete tilt-up building houses a 35,000 SF two-story office. The manufacturing and assembly area were carefully planned to streamline operations. Special features of the manufacturing area include an E-coat paint line and five wet spray paint booths.
