Sun Prairie’s Trachte Building Systems has announced the opening of its second distribution center, just five miles from its headquarters. There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening on Aug. 30.
Trachte Building Systems has been a part of Dane County’s history, with a legacy spanning over 122 years — 37 of those in Sun Prairie. Its expertise lies in metal building construction, and its early structures with distinctive barrel-vaulted roofs have served various purposes throughout the Midwest, including garages, aircraft hangars, gas stations, and restaurants.
Today, the company is the leading producer of self-storage buildings in North America, with a presence in all 50 states and several foreign countries, offering comprehensive design and building services. Beyond stand-alone buildings, it also specializes in converting existing structures into self-storage businesses. With numerous expansions over the years, Trachte now owns an impressive total of over 600,000 square feet.
