For immediate release
January 24, 2008

A ribbon cutting was held marking the official grand opening of Coaster Company of America, 255 Wille Road, Des Plaines. Coaster Company, having begun operations in California in 1979, now occupies the AMB Wille Distribution Center. The Missner Group served as AMB's general contractor in the development of the Center. Coaster is a premier importer and distributor of "ready to assemble" furniture and decorative accessories. "With their customer-centric approach, AMB developed a state-of-the-art facility on a terrific site. This will enable us to optimize our distribution operations. The location provides immediate access to I-90, one of the main interstate highways that runs through the metro Chicago area and is ideally located for both our Midwest and national distribution requirements," said Thomas Clark, Branch Manager at Coaster Company newly located in Des Plaines. Coaster moved from Bensenville to Des Plaines. The new facility employs approximately 60 workers.
