The best of the best
Partners in speed
Your business lives and dies by logistics. To keep pace in today’s warehouse building boom, you need more than a builder.
You need a partner whose construction teams boast a long track record of getting it right from coast to coast.
The Korte Company is a top national Design-Build firm with over 28 million square feet of distribution center space delivered so far — with the U.S. Postal Service, Amazon and The Hershey Company among our repeat customers.
The biggest names in business have chosen Design-Build for a reason. Join the list.
Making the world sweeter —
1.1 million-sq-ft Hershey distribution center
The biggest name in U.S. chocolate trusted The Korte Company to Design-Build the 1.1 million-square-foot Hershey Foods Midwest Distribution Center in Edwardsville, Illinois. The state-of-the-art structure includes warehouse space and a two-story, insulated Tilt-Up concrete office wing.
The warehouse is a durable, climate-controlled environment for the nearly $1 billion worth of chocolate shipped, stored and received on a daily basis. A system of Tilt-Up concrete, insulated metal panel construction, and 18 rooftop HVAC units ensures a constant 60-degree temperature and 50% relative humidity.
Rapid delivery. Total team coordination.
Now more than ever, speed to market separates winners from losers.
You need the right design, the right construction plan and a builder committed to finishing on-time and on-budget — no matter what. To do it right requires close collaboration from day one.
Design-Build keeps all project stakeholders on the same page. And it keeps projects in motion, whether it’s a greenfield build or a renovation or expansion of existing space requiring expert phasing and round-the-clock choreography that won’t disrupt ongoing operations.
That collaboration made the difference on a massive renovation and expansion we recently completed for the U.S. Postal Service in Los Angeles.
We always say The Job is The Boss. That means no finger pointing, no delays and no games of telephone. Just results.
You can count on us
We speak logistics
It’s our bread and butter. Our wheelhouse. Our native language.
We’ve utilized heavy-lift helicopters to lower huge cooling units onto the roof of Amazon’s new Cold Storage Hub in Maryland.
Hershey entrusted us to provide their massive 1.3 million-square-foot Midwest Distribution Center in Illinois — one of our largest ever builds.
Our crews faced the worst weather in anyone’s memory as they build a new facility for the Postal Service in Oregon.
There’s a reason some of the biggest names in business count themselves among our repeat customers. Are you ready to join them?
