As Vibra Finish continued to grow, this custom building addition created the space needed to expand operations, improve workflow, and support the next stage of the company's manufacturing capabilities.

Growth often brings a new challenge: finding space without disrupting the business that's already running successfully.

For Vibra Finish, expanding operations meant more than adding square footage. The new addition needed to connect seamlessly with the existing manufacturing facility, creating additional production capacity while maintaining the efficient workflows the company had developed over many years. Every aspect of the expansion had to feel like a natural continuation of the original building, allowing employees, equipment, and materials to move easily between old and new spaces.

cmb solution

Integrating an expansion with an existing manufacturing facility requires careful planning long before steel arrives on site. CMB worked through the connection between the new and existing structures, ensuring the addition aligned with ongoing production while minimizing disruption to daily operations. Structural detailing, building elevations, and framing connections were coordinated so the expansion blended seamlessly with the original facility, creating the appearance and functionality of a single cohesive building.

By understanding how Vibra Finish operates, the addition was planned to support production flow, equipment placement, and material movement from one end of the facility to the other, allowing the company to expand without compromising efficiency.

results

The completed expansion gives Vibra Finish the additional manufacturing space needed to keep pace with its growing business while preserving the operational efficiency that made the facility successful in the first place.

Rather than relocating or redesigning its operations, the company gained a seamless extension of its existing workspace that supports increased production capacity and positions the business for its next stage of growth. The result is an expansion that feels less like an addition and more like it was always meant to be part of the original facility.
