Quincy, Ill. – The Knapheide Manufacturing Company is expanding its headquarters at 1848
Westphalia Strasse in Quincy, Ill., through its Northeast Expansion project.
“It is one of many ongoing projects that we have right now to sustainably grow our company and
will allow us to better serve our customers,” Bo Knapheide, president and CEO, said.
The expansion is set to increase Knapheide’s existing facility by 153,797 square feet.
“The new building space will connect to our current shop and will become a dedicated area for
material storage and shop offices,” Chris Russell, vice president operations, said. “By removing
both from the heart of our production area, we are making our shop safer for employees and
increasing assembly space, both of which will increase production and reduce lead times.”
Construction for the Northeast Expansion began in April 2024 and will be completed in phases
to minimize disruptions to the company’s manufacturing operations. The project’s final phase is
expected to be completed in September 2025.
