The first expansion of this facility enabled ALDI to support the rapid increase in the number of its employees. A M King designed and built a 5-story office building, installed an industrial test kitchen that includes walk-in freezers and coolers, and a HVAC system designed for efficiency. Much of the interior architecture was designed to integrate extensive use of granite and solid wood panels and railings in the lobbies and stairwells. The exterior skin is an architectural pre-cast with heavy and light sandblast finishes and curtain wall glazing.

The second expansion, a 6-story office building, is connected to the existing five-story building and consists of conference rooms, training facilities, and supplier meeting rooms. We also incorporated an aluminum window system and a new concrete parking lot. The expansion was completed without interruption to ALDI’s operations.
