U.S. Chemical, the nation's largest supplier of commercial cleaning solutions, will open a new 150,000-square-foot warehouse in Watertown.
U.S. Chemical, a division of Sturtevant-based Johnson Diversey Inc., will move its warehouse operations from Sturtevant to Watertown. The new building in Watertown at 1009 S. 12th St. will house a key distribution facility for U.S. Chemical, which also operates a manufacturing facility in Watertown at 316 Hart St.
The Watertown site for the new distribution center is jointly owned by Waukesha-based Wangard Partners Inc., RY Holdings LLC and PM Kolosso.
Wangard, led by principal Stewart Wangard, has hired Keller Inc., a general contractor with offices in the Fox Cities, Milwaukee and Wausau, to design and build the warehouse under the direction of Wayne Wiertzema, executive vice president of Wangard Partners.
"In a very short time frame, we worked closely with U.S. Chemical and Johnson Diversey to provide a solution to their distribution needs for this division," Wiertzema said. "It required an extremely tight four-month design, construction and delivery schedule to meet the tenant's needs .We worked with the City of Watertown to fast-track the approval and permit process to start construction."
Pete Slezak, senior vice president of Colliers Barry Inc. in Milwaukee, brokered the deal.
Construction of the new Watertown center is expected to be completed by the fall.
U.S. Chemical officials were not available to comment about how many jobs will be created at the new warehouse.
