Rich Products Corp. is midway through its $18 million project to upgrade its Niagara Street headquarters.
The
project is being built from the bottom up starting with the basement that has
been transformed into a brand new workout facility for the employees that has a
view overlooking the river. The atrium is in the process of being renovated, and when it is complete is will continue to host weddings and other events. A new customer innovation center also is planned.
According
to Corporate Communications Vice President Dwight Gram, renovations are set to be complete by May 2014.
During
the past five years the company has been investing greatly, everything is
modern and brand new. The renovations signify that Rich Products is
committed to staying long term, Gram said.
Rich
Products is a global company that has 9,200 employees in over 112 countries
with 37 manufacturing sites.
“We
could build this anywhere,” said Gram. “We chose to build this in Buffalo because this is still our home and it’s a
commitment back to this community.”
