Acme Tools Announces Expansion of Corporate Headquarters to Support Continued Growth

Grand Forks, North Dakota - May 27th, 2015 - Acme Tools, an authorized online retailer of tools and equipment, announced on Thursday the planned expansion of its corporate headquarters in Grand Forks, N.D.

The project includes a newly constructed addition featuring a stunning new entrance, executive offices, a boardroom, a large employee training room, and a new employee lunchroom. New offices, conference rooms, and open work areas will also be added, along with remodeling the current corporate offices.

The design of the new spaces focuses on the needs of Acme Tools employees, providing the environment, technology, and comfort required to increase efficiency and productivity. The expansion increases the corporate headquarters building to 15,000 square feet.

Acme Tools employees will attend manufacturer training and company training programs in the new 35-person training facility. Specifically designed to provide a unique learning environment for employees, the new training room will integrate advanced training technology.

The project also repurposes existing warehouse space to create new parking and green space.

"The additional space will allow us to have the entire corporate staff in the same building and provide for improved communication at all levels," said Steve Kuhlman, vice president of corporate operations for Acme Tools. "This expansion provides needed space for all departments and, in particular, for the growth of our call center staff and the growing number of buyers supporting our online business."

Construction began late last year and is scheduled for completion on September 1. The new corporate headquarters building is located with the Acme Tools store and Acme Rents in Grand Forks.

"One of our goals with this project is to expand our corporate presence in this location and, in doing so, revitalize this area along North Washington Street in Grand Forks," stated Kuhlman.

Founded in Grand Forks in 1948, Acme Tools has more than 65 years of industry experience and is today a major tool distributor and retailer, with 10 retail stores in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, and an authorized online retailer offering more than 26,000 products at AcmeTools.com.
