NASCO Expands Warehouse and Headquarters in Washington, IN

We’re excited to announce the expansion of our manufacturing warehouse and headquarters in Daviess County. Our new facilities include investing $1.75 million in the project, which could create up to 20 jobs.

Construction has already begun on a new 24,000-square-foot warehouse facility. The project also includes remodeling existing facilities into new corporate offices. The Company says the expansion is due to increased demand for protective outerwear and heavy-duty rain gear in the company’s North American service area.

“NASCO holds a strong brand and reputation among its customers in the United States and Canada,” said Washington Mayor Joe Wellman. “Beginning in 1979 from the ground up, NASCO has developed a continental presence through innovation and performance and has captured a strong market share for their products.”

Chief Executive Officer Todd Smith says the company plans to hire between 12-20 new workers to its current staff of about 100. The expansion project is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

We're pleased with the final outcome of our headquarters and investment we could make in our community in Washington, Indiana. NASCO has always been about people, becoming employee-owned in 1985. It has around one hundred dedicated team members upholding what the president calls consensus management, the antithesis of a hierarchical management system. “As employee-owners, we all share a common set of core values that makes our team special: honesty, respect, teamwork, and perseverance. Our value proposition is to reliably provide quality, safe, comfortable, and compliant protective products to our customers. We achieve this by leveraging the quality work of our employee-owners and proudly ‘Made in the USA,’” Smith says, pointing out that being on the same page makes it easier to move forward in business.
