Midlink’s Flexibility Attracts Two New Tenants
COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN (PRWEB) December 16, 2015 -- Midlink Business Park announced today that two new tenants have signed leases to occupy more than 100,000 square feet in Midlink West. To accommodate the new tenants, the state-of-the-art business park transformed a large space in the 811,000-square-foot facility into three smaller units—the first for Tekna at 51,430-square-foot space, the second for Hycorr, LLC, at 51,300 square feet, and the remaining third for a prospective user at 39,000 square feet.
“Flexibility is the key ingredient to our success,” said David Smith, President of Midlink Business Park. “No matter what’s involved, we’re committed to creating the right environment for companies who locate here.” Midlink is customizing both spaces—and delivering them quickly—to meet the new tenants’ tight timelines.
Tekna, a Kalamazoo- based product development consultancy and product manufacturing organization, will be using their new space as a second location for design, engineering and manufacturing. “We are excited to continue our commitment to the Southwest Michigan region through the expansion of our manufacturing facilities at Midlink. Our products require first class facilities and space flexibility, both of which are cornerstones at the Midlink Business Park. This 51,000-SF expansion allows Tekna to continue to foster an environment where innovation, creativity and an honest approach will fulfill the needs of our diverse customer base and attract top talent. This facility will augment our existing 34,000 SF . product innovation studio located in the WMU Business Technology Research Park,” said Kris Eager, Tekna’s CEO.
Hycorr, LLC, a subsidiary of Kolbus America, Inc. and industry-leading builder of corrugated box-making machinery, will be using their new space to manufacture rotary die-cutters, which die cut and digitally print in one simple pass. “Midlink provides us with the capacity not only to manufacture, but also to test and prove out the machines by printing with ink,” said David Williamson, Hycorr’s Director of Operations.
“We thrilled to have both tenants at Midlink,” continued Smith, who extends special recognition to Matt Callander and David Keyte of Callander Commercial for representing the landlord in lease negotiations with Hycorr.
