Mechanix Wear®, the first company to develop and introduce high performance work gloves, has relocated to a new 74,000-square foot office and warehouse facility. The new facility was constructed on a five-acre site at 28525 Witherspoon Parkway in Valencia.
The new build-to-suit facility, including 20,000 square feet of office space and 54,000 square feet of warehouse space, was completed in June 2007. The space also includes a first floor lobby that includes show cars and motorcycles from our sponsored teams. In addition, Mechanix Wear will house a materials testing lab as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to research and development. Mechanix Wear has taken an aggressive role in every step of its design and construction of the new facility and wanted to create a signature landmark, which is apparent in the custom architecture and state-of-the-art design.
“We need more space to accommodate our fast growing company,” proclaimed Bari Waalk, Mechanix Wear’s Director of Marketing. “The new headquarters allows Mechanix Wear to process larger orders more efficiently, streamline distribution and position all of our employees to better serve our fast growing customer base. Our new facility reflects our commitment to developing innovative products and building a high quality global brand.”
Mechanix Wear, the #1 glove in racing, is the motorsports industry’s first and foremost company dedicated to providing gloves to help you work faster, safer and cleaner. From the introduction of our Original Glove at the 1991 Daytona 500, Mechanix Wear has continually redefined the state of high quality performance work gloves by developing products specifically designed with innovative fit, feel and function characteristics. Mechanix Wear gloves can be found in toolboxes in homes, garages and workshops and are used by professional mechanics, tradesmen, and military personnel worldwide.
