The city of De Pere Finance Committee has approved a plan for AmeriLux to purchase approximately 23 acres in De Pere’s East Industrial Business Park, according to the company’s website.
This city-owned land is located about one mile south of the company’s current Wisconsin headquarters.
The plan is to develop this site into two buildings totaling approximately 500,000 square feet of warehousing, distribution, and manufacturing space. The project is estimated at $40 million.
“The expansion represents a win-win that helps De Pere increase its tax base and positions the company and its workers to chase their potential,” said Kurt Voss, CEO and owner of AmeriLux Family of Companies.
Construction is anticipated to begin later this year with occupancy in late 2025.
The expansion is estimated to create between 60 and 100 jobs. Employment opportunities will include warehouse and management personnel as well as a need for additional truck drivers.
AmeriLux is a value adding distributor of multiwall and corrugated sheets, PVC liner panels, HDPE panels, acrylic sheet, and many other high-quality plastic sheet products. It was founded in De Pere in 2004.
