GLENVIEW, IL — Looking to improve efficiency and expand product lines, Glenview's Abt Electronics recently expanded its warehouse and showroom. McShane Construction Company completed a 429,524-square-foot addition to the facility at 1200 N. Milwaukee Ave. The expansion more than doubles Abt’s warehouse space, according to McShane.

“It has been a privilege to work on the expansion of Abt’s facility,” said Tom Beres, regional vice president of Industrial at McShane. “Abt is a household name here in the Chicago area, and we are proud to help them expand their business as they work to meet the changing needs of consumers."

The addition incorporates two three-story office blocks totaling 22,230 square feet and 407,294 square feet of warehouse space. The office build outs include trucking offices, security offices, a break room and open office space for future build outs. The single-story warehouse offers a 32-foot clear height, 39 semi-truck docks and 144 EOD box truck positions.

Additionally, the precast facility has pre-engineered metal canopies and EIFS screen walls for box truck loading. The semi-truck docks have full control panels with dock locks, and all dock positions have power operated doors and hydraulic dock equipment.
