Magna E-Car Systems’ 82,000 square foot facility was repurposed from an older facility into an extremely efficient battery testing lab as well as an electric hybrid vehicle and component research and development center.
KIRCO MANIX was called upon to design and implement innovative solutions for the highly sophisticated infrastructure demands required for the state of the art equipment used in the facility.
Aramco selected KIRCO MANIX to transform an industrial building in Novi, Michigan, into a cutting-edge R&D facility focused on reducing carbon emissions. Through close collaboration and strategic value engineering, KIRCO MANIX delivered the $25 million project ahead of schedule while maintaining quality.
Since completion, KIRCO MANIX has managed multiple facility upgrades and expansions, including advanced testing spaces and technical system enhancements, while ensuring uninterrupted operations through proactive planning and coordination.
“KIRCO MANIX successfully orchestrated the construction of the project, delivering the building temporary certificate of occupancy… almost 3 full months ahead of the industry norm.” – Scott Ballew, Engineering Unit Supervisor, Aramco
KIRCO and KIRCO MANIX transformed 31,550 square feet of former Bally’s Total Fitness space into a Class A mixed-use facility for DSM Engineering Plastics. The state-of-the-art space incorporates sustainable design, flexible office and conference areas, and a research and development lab focused on automotive plastics innovation.
Notable features include a barrel-vaulted skylight, a dramatic glass-railed staircase, open collaborative workspaces, a European-style lobby and interior design, mezzanine collaboration areas, and covered parking with direct building access. The project was recognized with the Troy Chamber of Commerce’s Best of Troy Award.
“I’ve done several different office building projects… I would say by far this team has been the most flexible, transparent, cooperative team I’ve worked with.” — Scott Warren, DSM
High-spec R&D and secure operations, delivered with open-book transparency.
KIRCO and KIRCO MANIX developed and constructed Wacker Chemical’s $70 million, 140,000 SF North American Innovation Center and Regional Headquarters. The new facility features world-class labs, a full-service cafeteria, a 24/7 fitness center, and open collaborative workspaces.
The campus serves as the hub of leadership and innovation for Wacker’s North and Central Americas region, housing over 200 team members including senior leadership, chemists, and technical experts, with capacity for over 300 employees.
“KIRCO MANIX proved throughout the process to be a trusted and reliable partner. Even in the face of numerous challenges, including the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, we are able today to celebrate the journey and proudly open our building with excitement and positivity.”
— Greg Brabec, Director of Government Affairs and Special Projects for Wacker
