Taunton, MA NAI Hunneman recently completed a 6.78 acre land sale to Maxon Precision Motors for a new U.S. Headquarters facility at The Business Park at Myles Standish. The Swiss-owned company is relocating from Fall River. The sale marks the first corporate user at the business park, with plans to initially construct a 55,000 s/f building for product manufacturing and distribution, with the ability to expand to 100,000 s/f. Maxon will be transferring its current Fall River staff of 40 employees and plans to add a minimum of 50-75 new jobs within the next 5 years. The company officially broke ground on the facility on June 22, and hopes to be up and running by June of 2018.
Executive vice president Cathy Minnerly and vice president Ovar Osvold represented the seller, Mass Development/Taunton Development Corp., while Maxon was represented by Bernard Giroux from Giroux & Company.
“The site is an ideal location for a Maxon’s Headquarters as it offers direct access to major highways, access to a deep and talented labor pool and all the infrastructure to construct a world-class facility,” said Minnerly.
