Bobbitt to Build Local Thermo King Headquarters

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Feb. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Bobbitt Design Build has begun construction on the corporate headquarters for a local Franchisee for Thermo King, which will be located at 30 Sonntag Drive in Gaston.

The 33,029-square-foot structure will be comprised of office space, parts storage and delivery, work and wash bays and parking for more than 160 trailer units. The facility will be accented with a detailed brick veneer exterior and incorporate other features such as LED high-bay lighting, a 5-ton bridge crane system, a generator to power the entire building in the event of natural disaster, loading dock conditions for both 18-wheelers and pup trucks and compressed air systems.

“We are excited to see all of the enhancements and efficiencies we have been working on to make this a state-of-the-art facility, finally come to fruition,” said Thermo King Dealership owner Ritchie McQueeney. “The folks at Bobbitt have done a phenomenal job bringing all of the necessary resources to bear.”

Bobbitt Design Build is building the facility to accommodate the exponential growth that Thermo King has realized. An industry leader in transport refrigeration, Thermo King sells, installs and services transport temperature control systems for trucks, trailers, shipboard containers and railway cars. Thermo King has other South Carolina locations in Florence and Charleston.

The Gaston project will be completed in summer 2015.
