DS Containers to open distribution center at DuPage Airport Authority

DS Containers of Batavia will open a state-of-the-art build-to-suit distribution center at DuPage Business Center in West Chicago, according to the DuPage Airport Authority, owner and manager of the 800-acre campus.

Situated on 14.55 acres with the ability for future expansion, the 300,278-square-foot facility will join New Continuum's data center, occupying nearly six acres and more than 62,000-square-feet, and Pella's 225,000-square-foot distribution center.

"We welcome DS Containers to the DuPage Business Center, which will leverage the site's strategic location, flexibility of uses and attractive county tax rates to grow their business," said Steve Davis, chairman of the board of Ccommissioners of the DuPage Airport Authority.

Headquartered in Batavia, DS Containers is a manufacturer of two-piece polymer-coated steel aerosol cans. The company will occupy the space, which is expandable by approximately 250,000 square feet to provide operational flexibility. The build-to-suit, strategically located in close proximity to the product's manufacturing in Batavia, will feature 20 exterior dock doors, 1 drive-in door, 27 trailer positions and 73 car parking spaces.

The Business Center also features diverse communication and utility infrastructure, fully improved sites with off-site detention, and adjacency to key transportation routes.
