Kimberly, Wis. – Crane Engineering recently celebrated the completion of a major facility expansion with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by company leadership, employees, Village of Kimberly officials, and representatives from Keller, Inc. The event marked a major milestone for the growing organization as it continues to expand its service capabilities and operational footprint in Wisconsin.
The 43,000-square-foot expansion – completed in less than a year – brings Crane Engineering’s total facility to more than 90,000 square feet. The addition features new service bays, a modern assembly area, expanded warehouse and parts storage, upgraded IT and security systems, and a new principal office for service coordination. Eleven new technician workstations were added, doubling the company’s capacity and supporting its continued commitment to operational excellence.
“Back in 2023, we were bursting at the seams,” said Lance Crane, President of Crane Engineering. “We even looked at moving miles away from here, but this is home. Thanks to the Village of Kimberly and our trusted partners at Keller, we found a way to grow right where we are. Less than a year after breaking ground, we’re standing in a completed space that represents incredible teamwork, planning, and pride, and positions Crane for the future by giving our employees the space, technology, and resources they need to continue delivering exceptional service to our customers.”
Construction began in December 2024 under the design-build leadership of Keller, Inc., headquartered in Kaukauna, Wis. Building on a longstanding partnership, Keller once again worked alongside local subcontractors and community partners to bring the project to life and support Crane Engineering’s continued growth in Kimberly.
