ABC Supply to open warehouse in Machesney Park

MACHESNEY PARK — Beloit-based ABC Supply Company Inc. plans to open a new sales and distribution center warehouse in Machesney Park, village officials announced Wednesday.

Earlier this summer, the village board of trustees approved a development agreement to pave the way for a 15,000-square-foot addition to an existing building near the intersection of Interstate 39-90 and Illinois 173.

The warehouse space will total 45,000-square-feet once the project is completed.

"We have immense gratitude for the investment that ABC Supply is making here in Machesney Park," Mayor Steve Johnson said in a news release. "The village's streamlined development process and business-friendly practices were the ultimate catalysts to landing this project."

The sales and distribution center warehouse is expected to be operational beginning in the first quarter of 2023 with a total of 22 employees.

ABC Supply will join Quantum Design, TH Foods, HMC Products and SCP Distributors in the space known as the Park 90 Industrial Park.
