Londonderry, NH – Freudenberg-NOK and The Granite Group officials were joined by business leaders for the groundbreaking ceremony of their 64,000sf facility in Londonderry.

The warehouse addition will increase the overall size of the building to 305,624sf. Freudenberg-NOK will move into the new addition while The Granite Group will take over the existing square footage. The buildings are adjacent to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport runway. Glenbervie selected Manchester-based PROCON as the designer and construction manager for the project.

Freudenberg-NOK is a market and technology partner for demanding applications, including sealing technology and electro-mobility, and The Granite Group distributes plumbing, heating, cooling, water and propane supplies to contractors and fuel dealers across New England.

“We have been aggressively expanding our branch footprint through both organic growth and acquisitions. In the last five years we have grown from 29 to 46 locations and counting. We know this location truly is the heart of our organization and we are excited to invest in our team at Central Distribution to give them the space and resources needed to fuel our future growth,” said Bill Condron, president and CEO of The Granite Group.

The building is expected to open for business in spring 2022.
