Expanding Our Ability to Serve

Throughout 2024 ProVia invested in a wide range of facility expansions designed to support the ongoing growth of the company. This includes the addition of 405,100 square feet to company facilities, along with a variety of improvements to existing properties. Further on in this article you can see some of the highlights from these projects, where they’re located and what they’re intended to enable us to do, in terms of production. That’s a pretty exciting story in and of itself.

However, it’s the story behind the scenes that I really want to shine a light on here. And that’s a story of all the people and companies that come together to make these projects blossom into reality.

On staff at ProVia we have Mike Burch, Director of Business Improvement, who assembles and leads the teams on our various expansion projects. Through the years he’s mobilized our internal resources, and developed relationships with key partners, all of whom have worked together to streamline our processes and come to a point where we can move forward with speed and efficiency.

We’re grateful for the dedication and expertise of our partners and wish to thank the following for their ongoing contributions: B.A. Widder Architectural Services, Ivan Weaver Construction, Kidron Electric, Current Electric, D&J Plumbing, Peterman Plumbing, Automatic Fire Protection, Henry Heating, MJK Electrical Engineering, Staley Mechanical Consulting, and many others.
