Skender Boosts Modular Initiative with Two New Hires

Skender is bolstering its modular component operations with the addition of two manufacturing industry veterans to its team. Dan Conley has joined Skender as director of manufacturing operations, while Mike Mulrooney has come aboard as director of engineering.

Between them, Conley and Mulrooney (above, left and right) have 65 years’ manufacturing experience. Conley most recently maximized efficiency in Thermal Care’s factories using Lean manufacturing principles, while Mulrooney held multiple engineering leadership roles during 28 years as an executive with Magnetrol International.

As part of its vertical integration and modular building initiative announced this past March, Skender launched a manufacturing company that is scheduled to be fully operational in spring 2019. The company already has a pipeline of modular projects, including a workforce housing development underway in the West Loop.

Skender is designing and producing the apartment modules, and will construct the 110-unit, 80,000-square-foot, six-story building. A seven-month timetable is anticipated.
