February 23, 2026 (Niles, IL) – PREMIER has officially 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 Industry 4.0 lights-out smart factory.
Linx is a global product development and contract manufacturing company that partners with leading organizations to bring ideas to market. The new facility will grow Linx’s R&D operations and deepen Linx’s footprint in medical, advanced packaging, and electromechanical assembly space.
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.
Employee experience and collaboration are key components of the project. The office areas will include conference rooms, private offices, breakout rooms, and open workspaces. Employees will have the opportunity to connect and recharge in the all-employee café and green roof deck with a walking path, outdoor kitchen, and gas fire pit. The site will also provide 85 parking spaces for employees and visitors, some being EV-charging ready.
“We’re excited to partner with Linx as this project moves from concept to construction,” said Joe Ahrens, Senior Vice President, Market Leader at PREMIER. “This facility reflects Linx’s commitment to innovation, quality, and growth, and we’re proud to help bring that vision to life.”
PREMIER is proud to collaborate with project partners Heitman Architects, Spaceco Inc., MK Industries Inc., Swift Structural Design, and Connelly Electric. Substantial completion is anticipated in the first quarter of 2027.
