NORTHBROOK, Ill.—In June 2011 Bell Flavors & Fragrances acquired an 85,000 sq.-ft warehouse building contiguous to its existing corporate headquarters in Northbrook. This building location is logistically ideal for long-term expansion and planning. Bell has completed the connection of the building to the current corporate headquarters.
“Over the last five years our domestic and international business has grown so well that one of our biggest challenges has been with space in our Northbrook facility, this building acquisition will be critical to our long-term growth. In the next few months we are going to get the Lindberg building ready for finished product storage and shipping. By the end of the fiscal, we expect all finished good storage and all finished good shipping to be from Lindberg," said Thomas Fortman, VP of manufacturing.
“This building acquisition will allow Bell critical space for enhancing all areas of our business with the goal to bring even further value to our customers and the markets we service," stated James Heinz, president and CEO.
