To accommodate the brand's growth, OnLogic, an industrial computer hardware manufacturer and IoT solution provider, plans to build a 125,000-square-foot headquarters in South Burlington, Vermont, according to a company press release.

OnLogic will move from its 36,000 square foot facility in Meadowlands Park, which was previously expanded in 2014.

"When we expanded the current building in Vermont, we expected it to sustain our growth for at least 10 years, but we've scaled at a faster rate than even we anticipated," Roland Groeneveld, OnLogic co-founder and executive chair, said in the release. "The new facility will accommodate our growing production needs while also providing our Vermont-based team with an environment that will foster continued innovation."

The planned $50 million project will house manufacturing, warehousing, testing facilities and all other business operations to support the production of the company's industrial computers. Energy management and sustainability were included in the design, with items like rooftop solar arrays and EV charging stations being considered during the planning stage.

The company hopes to break ground in the first half of 2022.

"The state of Vermont has been incredibly supportive of our business and our team, and this expansion wouldn't be possible without them," Lisa Groeneveld, OnLogic co-founder and vice chair, said in the release. "As a global technology company, we could be based anywhere, but we've chosen to grow here in Vermont because we love it here and it's our home."

In addition to the new facility in Vermont, OnLogic will soon open an office in Cary, North Carolina, where the company has started hiring employees. The company also has plans to double the size of their European office this year, having seen that site more than triple its revenue over the last five years. OnLogic is also growing their engineering and supply chain teams in Malaysia and Taiwan, according to the release.

"The recent local recognition wouldn't be possible without the incredible group of individuals all over the world who create an exceptional customer experience and products every single day," Sean Larkin, OnLogic's CEO, said in the release. "From making sure our team members were cared for during the pandemic, and that communications remained effective during periods of remote and hybrid work, to staying on top of global supply challenges, our team is amazing, and is the reason we're planning for continued growth."

OnLogic, based in South Burlington, Vermont, was founded in 2003.
