Rockford Systems Relocates Headquarters

To accommodate rapid growth and future expansion, Rockford Systems, LLC (Rockford, IL) is moving their headquarters into a new, larger facility located at 5795 Logistics Parkway in Rockford. The relocation, which is expected to be completed in January 2019, will offer employees an improved, state-of-the-art workspace to deliver expanded training, manufacturing and customer support, while providing the company with operational efficiencies and a larger footprint for future growth in a thriving business environment.

Established in 1971, the company has operated continuously in Rockford for over 45 years. The majority of their employees live in the area and several key customers are located nearby, including leaders in the aerospace, tool making and metal fabrication industries. City Mayor Tom McNamara expressed his appreciation for the company’s loyalty: “We thank them for their continued ironclad commitment to our community, and for providing local employment, community leadership and fostering business growth.”

This new headquarters will expand product development, production efficiencies, training capabilities, and overall customer satisfaction. “We look forward to this next exciting chapter in our growth and to welcoming our employees, customers and partners to our new headquarters facility,” stated Joe Nitiss, the company’s chief executive officer. “The diversity of our products and services is a real strength in the current industrial safety climate. Our new building will enable us to deliver even higher levels of service excellence for our customers, provide a world-class training and education experience, expand our innovation and operational efficiencies, plus better attract and retain talent.”

Nitiss sees this move as an important bridge into the future expansion of their machine safeguarding and industrial safety training programs: “For more than 45 years, we have taught people in positions of responsibility how to safeguard their machines to meet complex OSHA/ANSI/RIA/NFPA safety standards and to prevent injuries. Now we are creating the necessary space inside a modern headquarters that will foster an interactive, more immersive learning environment.”

Located next to the Chicago Rockford International Airport, this new facility provides the company with broadened capacity for manufacturing, customer support, engineering, sales, and leadership functions. They have demonstrated tremendous growth over the past three years, and 2018 is on track to be their most successful year to date.
