(PRWEB) August 13, 2006 -- Whitley Manufacturing, headquartered in South Whitley, Indiana, announced today that it has reached a milestone with construction of the company’s 35,000th commercial modular unit.
Over the years Whitley has become a leader in innovative design, quality construction and customer service. Whitley has received numerous trade awards, including frequent “Best of Show” awards from the Modular Building Institute, the governing body for the modular industry. Recently, Whitley won eight awards from 11 nominations at the MBI spring convention in Orlando.
The 35,000th unit was ordered by Randy Rebers of Satellite Building Solutions in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In 1993 Simon Dragan bought the company, established the corporate headquarters in northeastern Indiana and has since opened a second factory in Indiana and acquired a sprawling production facility near Seattle, Washington, the former Evergreen Modular Company, to serve the west coast. Whitley manufactures schools and classroom buildings, press boxes, student dormitories, dialysis and MRI clinics, as well as office complexes for the medical professionals, sales and administration office complexes, and buildings for many other uses. Buildings have been erected throughout the United States and overseas.
The company was founded in 1946 to supply modular and mobile homes to GIs returning from WWII with the GI Bill in hand. In the early 1970s the company was converted to the manufacture of commercial modular space when it was acquired by Williams Scotsman, a leading distriubtor of commercial modular buildings.
