Autoline Industries and Ksport USA are proud to announce the relocation of their world headquarters to a new, larger facility in Gilbert, Arizona. The relocation of Ksport’s headquarters comes after a record-breaking year in sales, product introductions, racing success and increased employee headcount, thus demanding the extra needed space. The new facility will bring Ksport USA’s total footprint up to 25,000 square feet – a much needed increase in space to accommodate the extraordinary workflow, inventory movement and product development.
Previous to now, Ksport USA has performed much of the product development overseas and in California, in addition to the current headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. “We’re trying to develop our domestic (USA) products in the actual market, or within the United States. That extra local development requires additional space for shock dynamometers, test vehicles, race cars, tools, jigs and so forth. Having more space to expand our engineering and test operations will make Ksport’s development process more efficient, provide higher quality and allow us to deliver new applications much sooner”, according to Nick Jackson, CEO of Ksport USA. Added to the development space, Ksport claims the newer facility will accommodate their assembly line style format for shipping and receiving, therefore helping with demanding delivery schedules both domestically and internationally.
With the initial phase of the move and building updates already in the works, Ksport USA plans to be fully acclimated to the new facility by September 21st, 2009. “We had to implement a very structured and very strict schedule for moving our employees, inventory and accessories in an effort to keep the workflow and day to day business operations going well. No business transactions will be affected during the process due to a lot of advanced planning”, said Jackson. Ksport plans to have an elaborate opening celebration once the move is finished, complete with several guests, demo vehicles and even a visit from the FedEX NASCAR team.
