SELIT Foam Solutions, based in Germany, was founded in 1948 and has become Europe’s leader in the production of underlayment foam solutions for floating flooring. Its U.S. affiliate, SELIT North America which was founded in 2010, is family-owned and holds the largest market share in its North American niche market. SELIT North America’s product portfolio is tailored towards the needs of do-it-yourself (DIY) end customers and America’s top-tier flooring manufacturers. SELIT contracted with Evans General Contractors to design-build a manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility in Banks County, Georgia. This facility will help increase SELIT’s U.S. market presence, increase production capabilities, and enable quicker delivery times.

The 101,045 sf facility has 55,445 sf of manufacturing space dedicated to patented flooring foam solution production, 33,000 sf of hazardous materials warehouse space, and approximately 11,500 sf of administrative, (including conference rooms, cubicle spaces, and break-room/kitchen areas) and utility space. Scope of work included preconstruction services, site work, building construction, all MEP design, and equipment installation. Build also included fire protection, gas tanks, a compressor room, thermal oil heater, and a ventilation system to keep the production area temperature controlled. Evans also assisted in the build of a central utility plant and fuel farm. To protect the owners’ best interest, Evans worked alongside SELIT’s 3rd party construction manager to assist with decisions outside our scope of work to ensure they understood the U.S. market.
