Fantastic turnout at the “Need to Expand but Not Sure Where to Start?” session with VIP and Bluefors , hosted by MACNY, The Manufacturers Association!
VIP served as design-builder for Bluefors’ (formerly Cryomech) 75,000 SF built-to-suit facility and its subsequent 35,000 SF expansion, and has been a long-time trusted partner in supporting their growth.
At the session, VIP and Bluefors shared practical, collaborative insights with manufacturers across Central New York on planning, designing, and delivering high-performing manufacturing facilities, from site selection, due diligence, and incentives through budget understanding and construction, with a focus on expansion-ready design. Bluefors also led attendees on a guided tour of its cryogenic systems manufacturing floor, giving participants a real-world view of advanced manufacturing in practice.
Thanks to everyone who joined and contributed to a strong discussion on what it takes to execute a successful facility expansion. More insights from the presentation coming soon.
