idX To Open New Facility in Baltimore idX has announced it will open a new facility near Baltimore, MD. The new 435,000-square foot plant, located in Gateway Commerce Center in Columbia, MD, will include state-of-the-art manufacturing, distribution and offices. At full capacity, the new idX facility will employ 250--double the current level. "The increased capacity and consolidated space in the new facility positions idX Baltimore to respond to future growth," said Frank Grelle, idX Baltimore General Manager. "It also allows us to work more efficiently and handle higher volume projects." Grelle added that the move has been planned so that both facilities will operate concurrently for a period of time to allow a seamless transition, with the move to be completed by the end of October. In keeping with idX's commitment to sustainable business practices, the new facility will include such features as an integrated daylighting and artificial lighting system, energy-efficient HVAC and fan systems, and low VOC materials throughout. The building will also include a fitness center, a new IP Telephone system, WiFi, and a new warehouse barcode system. |
