Marshall Field Warehouse Rehab Provides
"Breathing Room" for Growing Companies
Two of the Pulaski Corridor's largest employers will expand in the Marshall Field
Warehouse campus at 4000 W. Diversey Avenue, creating and retaining jobs and
reinforcing the area's identity as an industrial hub.
A 103,000 -squqre-foot space on the complex's north side, facing George
Street. will be rehabbed for Newly Weds Foods, a producer of food coatings,
seasonings and other
ingredients for the food service
industry. The project will create
20 additional jobs onsite and
allow for more production space
in its nearby Fullerton Avenue
facility,
Studio 41, a manufacturer
and distributor of windows
and home design products, will
also take 65,000 square-feet on
the building's George street
side The project will result in 20 new jobs that will support production lines operated
by the company's Climate Guard Windows division at 2622 N. Pulaski Road.
Local developer 4K Diversey Partners purchased the 1.6 million square foot
property last year and have since won zoning approval for a mixed use development
to include commercial, office, light industrial, live-work space and a data center.
Plans call for indoor parking.
Most recently the 1.6 million square foot campus was used as a regional
distribution by Macy's, which acquired the property in 2005. The complex closed in
2008 and remained vacant until the recent acquisition.

Local Company in the News
CBS Chicago recently showcased how Chicago
manufacturer Triton Industries, located here in the
Northwest Industrial Corridor, put its metal laser cutter
to work for Chicago Comb Company. Capable of
turning out 500 of CCC's upscale metal combs in a 4 hour period. Triton's
capabilities also allows many other Chicago companies keep their fabricating work
local, says company owner Brent Wortell in the linked video below.
Chicago Comb Company launched the $40 luxury men's comb a year ago.
Crafted from high performance stainless steel and laser cut, the product is the
culmination of years of thinking about art, manufacturing and sustainable production
by its co-founders - John Litwinski and Tedd Strom - who met at O'Neill Junior High
School in Downer's Grove many years ago.
Laser-Cut Metal Combs A New Fashion Trend
Triton became involved when
Litwinski and Strom were
promoting the combs at the
Great Shave Event held by
Merz Apothecary in 2011. Joe
Wortell, one of the barbers at
the event, admired the comb
and overheard the two owners
say they were looking for a
manufacturer in Chicago to
produce the it. Joe told them
his parents operated a metal
finishing plant in Chicago,
Triton Industries. The rest is
history.

Study Suggest Early
Tool Making Drove the
Development of Language
A recently published study presents
evidence that stone tool-making helped drive
the evolution of language and teaching among
our prehistoric ancestors. While language has
been around for at least two million years, there is little doubt that Neanderthals responsible for complex stone tools difficult for modern day knappers to replicate had to have developed a communication and teaching system sophisticated enough
to transmit the subtle and long 'recipes' for making their tools. Click HERE
