Kohler Co.

Wright Construction partnered with Kohler Co. and a team of contractors to complete a large-scale site development project spanning more than 150,000 square feet at Kohler’s campus in Huntsville, Alabama. The scope included concrete paving, asphalt installation, guard shack construction, bollard placement, and minor grading. Wright’s Huntsville office led the project with support from the Memphis Division on asphalt work and G-Force handling striping, coordinating across multiple teams and contractors to deliver a durable, functional finished product that met Kohler’s operational needs.

The project brought together several partner contractors, including Buteyn-Peterson Construction, Tusco, Apache Electrical, USA Ready Mix, and Colony Supply, reflecting the scale and complexity of a project touching multiple trades across one active campus.

About Kohler in Huntsville

Kohler Co. is a global manufacturer of kitchen and bath products, founded in 1873 and headquartered in Kohler, Wisconsin. The company’s Huntsville campus, located off Wall Triana Highway, produces STERLING Vikrell bath and shower fixtures used by major homebuilders, home improvement retailers, and multi-family developers across the country. Kohler has continued to invest in the Huntsville site to keep pace with growing product demand, including the completion of a 546,000-square-foot distribution warehouse built to increase production and shipping capacity for its Vikrell product lines.

That warehouse addition alone spanned 28 acres of previously undeveloped land, and expansions of this scale bring significant new site infrastructure needs. New buildings require new paved surfaces for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, security infrastructure to control site access, and properly graded ground to manage drainage across the expanded footprint.

Why This Site Work Matters

A manufacturing and distribution campus generates constant vehicle traffic, from employee parking to delivery trucks moving raw materials in and finished product out. Concrete paving and asphalt installation across 150,000-plus square feet give the site the durable surfaces needed to handle that volume of daily traffic without premature wear or damage. Guard shack construction and bollard placement add security and access control, letting Kohler manage who enters the site and protecting pedestrian areas and building entrances from vehicle traffic. Minor grading ensures water drains properly across the site rather than pooling near buildings, roadways, or parking areas, protecting the long-term integrity of both the pavement and the structures it surrounds.

For a campus supporting high-volume manufacturing and distribution, site infrastructure that works well from day one reduces the risk of costly repairs, safety issues, or operational slowdowns down the road.

Project Execution

Wright Construction’s Huntsville office led the project, coordinating directly with Kohler and the site’s general contractor team to sequence work across concrete paving, asphalt installation, and site amenities. The Memphis Division supported the asphalt scope, while G-Force handled striping to complete the finished surfaces. Managing a project of this size across multiple Wright divisions and outside contractors required close coordination to keep material deliveries, crew scheduling, and sequencing aligned across the full scope of work.

Impact on the Business

This project gives Kohler’s Huntsville campus the paved surfaces, access control, and drainage infrastructure needed to support its continued growth in Vikrell product manufacturing and distribution. As Kohler has expanded its footprint in Huntsville over the years, projects like this one keep the site’s physical infrastructure aligned with the company’s operational demands, supporting the jobs and production capacity the campus brings to the region.
