RITE-HITE EXPANDS U.S. OPERATIONS WITH ADDITIONAL SPACE IN DUBUQUE

Leasing of new warehouse and manufacturing space grows key Iowa presence by almost two-thirds

Rite-Hite, a world leader in the manufacture, sale and service of loading dock solutions and more, will expand its Dubuque, Iowa, footprint in 2025. The company has leased 216,000 square feet of additional warehouse and manufacturing space less than one mile away from its 330,000 square foot facility, which will remain in use.

“This is an exciting step for the future of our Dubuque operations,” says Micaela Bomhack, Rite-Hite’s CEO. “This additional space will give us necessary room to support continued growth globally.”

Rite-Hite’s Iowa facility houses engineering and manufacturing for the company’s Doors, Barriers, Fans, Seals & Shelters and DuctSox product lines. Currently, 425 employees work at Rite-Hite in Dubuque.

“Initially, we expect 15-20 of our Iowa colleagues to move into this expansion,” says Jamie Richmond, Rite-Hite’s President of International and Global Operational Excellence. “We’ll also bring together some of our smaller off-site locations in the vicinity to operate collaboratively out of this new space.”

This investment in Rite-Hite’s Dubuque operations will help the company warehouse and manufacture more products to meet customer needs for industrial safety and productivity solutions.

This expansion was made possible through a collaboration with HODGE, the landlord and leasing partner for the new facility. “We’re proud to support Rite-Hite’s expansion in Dubuque,” said Michael Fullan, VP of Development at HODGE. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to fostering economic growth and creating opportunities within the Dubuque community.”

Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, since its founding in 1965, Rite-Hite’s U.S. products are also manufactured in Horn Lake, Mississippi, and Clare, Michigan.

With 2,800 employees worldwide, the global company partners with more than 30 representative organizations in 100 locations throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia/Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. Major offices are located strategically to serve as regional points of contact for customers, employees and representatives.

Transition to this additional building in Dubuque will begin in January and continue throughout 2025.
