FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS - Chelar Tool & Die, Inc. is expanding its Belleville-based headquarters with a 12,000-square-foot addition to its existing manufacturing shop. The company hired IMPACT Strategies to oversee construction of the new $1.1 million addition. Construction began in mid-October and will be completed by February 2015.

IMPACT Strategies is building a single story, pre-engineered metal building that will be equipped with the latest high-tech equipment used for making high quality progressive and non-progressive metal stamping dies, metal stampings, specialty precision machinery and Blanchard grinding. The project is the second building expansion IMPACT has completed for Chelar.  In 2004, IMPACT built a 16,000-square-foot building that provided Chelar Tool & Die, Inc., additional space for design, manufacturing and warehouse storage.
