Hill PHOENIX Expanding In Chesterfield County

Second Building to Focus on New Technology

Hill PHOENIX has announced that it will expand in Chesterfield County with the leasing of 317,319 square feet at 1301 Battery Brooke Parkway. The company designs and manufactures a comprehensive line of refrigerated display merchandisers for commercial applications. Space constraints at the company’s original building on Ruffin Mill Road necessitated the search for additional space. The company will have two locations in the county.

Total investment including tenant up fit and new machinery and tools is anticipated to be more than $9.3 million. In addition to the capital investment the company expects to add new jobs as the project develops. “This production facility will be a good addition to our current production facility already located in Chesterfield County,” said Tom Marcy, Vice President and General Manager for the Hill PHOENIX Case Division. “We will now have the ability to better support our customers without some of the constraints of our current facility. This is a win-win for our customers, employees, and the industry”, he added.

“Hill PHOENIX has been an important corporate citizen in Chesterfield County for over 10 years and we are thrilled that Hill PHOENIX chose to expand in Chesterfield County,” said Art Warren, chairman of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors. “The area’s stable workforce and practical business costs have helped the company succeed, and I congratulate Hill PHOENIX on an expansion that will continue to distinguish the company and improve its bottom line,” he added.

“We looked at several locations in the neighboring areas before choosing the Battery Brook Parkway site. Clearly staying within Chesterfield County was a plus as we have developed a very good working relationship with the County over the years, and they treat us right” said Marcy.

Hill PHOENIX designs, manufactures, sells and installs refrigerated display cases, refrigeration systems, power systems and walk-in coolers. The company’s executive offices are located in Conyers, GA.

In addition to the Chesterfield County Economic Development Department, the company was assisted by Grubb & Ellis/Harrison & Bates, The Virginia Department of Business Assistance and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership.
