Clark Properties Inc. announced an agreement with Imperial Manufacturing Group, a Canadian company based in Richibucto, New Brunswick, to bring its U.S. headquarters to Alton, Ill.
Imperial will house its U.S. corporate offices, a manufacturing operation and its warehouse and distribution facilities in the Alton Center Business Park, according to Michael Clark, president of Clark Properties, and plans to employ local residents in several areas of operation.
“Based upon our areas of distribution in the United States, Alton is an ideal location to place this facility,” said Normand Caissie, president of Imperial Manufacturing Group. “The size of our new headquarters will help us to boost production and increase our efficiency. We also are very pleased with the workforce experience we have had in the area, already employing a large percentage of our workforce from the River Bend community.”
He added that the company plans to continue to grow and will be looking for additional staff both now and in the future. Founded in 1979, Imperial Manufacturing Group specializes in equipment for the heating, air conditioning, ventilation and building products industries.
Alton Center Business Park is a 150-acre, mixed-use development located at the foot of the Lewis and Clark Bridge at the intersection of Illinois Route 143 and Broadway.
