A manufacturing company has acquired a Downey facility zoned for commercial manufacturing that it feels is good for its planned growth, and the products it intends to develop, as well as giving it a way to stage its materials, components, and finished products.
Adomani makes zero-emission drive train systems for electric and hybrid vehicles, including vans, trucks, and school buses. The company has been looking for a location zoned in such a way that would allow it to assemble and/or manufacture its products, conduct needed research and development, stage materials, test its vehicles, and provide secure storage for finished inventory, equipment, demonstration vehicles, and prototypes. Manufacturing concerns like this can use brochure printing to create sales literature to illustrate and describe their products in detail.
Since suitable property is scarce, Adomani has spread its operations over several locations, including locating its headquarters in Corona. The Downey site gives the company 43,000 square feet of covered space located on a four-acre lot that is paved and fenced. The lot has enough room for all of Adomani's vehicles.
Adomani’s CEO and president, Jim Reynolds, said that the Downey facility is in an area that is being redeveloped, so he is not sure how long the company will be able to remain there, but having the location, even on a temporary basis, is a great step forward for the organization.
