PREMIER Breaks Ground on Linx Global Manufacturing Facility in Niles

PREMIER Design + Build Group has begun construction on a new Linx Global Manufacturing facility in Niles, Illinois.

The 82,125-square-foot building, with an additional 18,000-square-foot production mezzanine, will feature a modern office environment alongside a cutting-edge factory. Linx is a global product development and contract manufacturing company, and the new facility will expand Linx’s R&D operations and deepen its footprint in the medical, advanced packaging, and electromechanical assembly markets. 

The facility will house a range of specialized manufacturing and research spaces, including a wet lab, quality control lab, 3D print room, and dedicated support areas. To accommodate complex production requirements, the building will include overhead material handling capabilities, an expanded 10-silo tank farm for raw materials, and a modular utility distribution system.

PREMIER is partnering on the project with Heitman Architects, Spaceco Inc., MK Industries Inc., Swift Structural Design, and Connelly Electric. Substantial completion is anticipated in the first quarter of 2027.
