Hillman Solutions breaks ground on 715,000 sq ft facility in Ohio

Hillman Solutions Corp. (Nasdaq: HLMN) and Hillwood Investment Properties held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new multipurpose facility at the former Forest Fair Mall site in Forest Park, Ohio.

The planned Class A facility will span approximately 715,000 square feet and will primarily contain distribution center space, along with office and operational support functions. The site includes an expansion pad capable of accommodating an additional 162,000 square feet in the future.

Hillman will serve as the sole tenant, leasing and fully occupying the space. The company said the facility will consolidate several Cincinnati-area operations into one centralized location.

"This groundbreaking represents an exciting next chapter for Hillman and reinforces our long-term commitment to our employees, customers, and the communities we've called home for decades," said Jon Michael Adinolfi, President and CEO of Hillman.

The project was developed in partnership with the City of Forest Park, the Butler County Land Bank, the Ohio Department of Development, the City of Fairfield, JobsOhio, and REDI Cincinnati.

JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef said the facility "will fill a once-vacant site, improve efficiencies for Hillman to move its products throughout the North American market, and provide flexibility for future growth."

Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Hillman provides hardware and related products to retail, pro distribution, and industrial customers across North America.
