HALO Completes New Headquarters

Top 40 distributor HALO Branded Solutions (asi/356000) says it’s moving into a new, recently completed state-of-the-art headquarters in Sterling, IL. The 157,500-square-foot facility will house HALO’s 300-person headquarters team. It also has workstations for 200 additional employees.

“This building was designed both for our valued employees of today, and for the employees we will be drawing to HALO for years to come,” said CEO Marc Simon. “We have collaborative meeting space, a wellness room, additional training space and the latest technology throughout the building to allow our support team to do the best job possible for our highly valued account executives and clients.”

According to HALO, the building includes a 90,000-square-foot warehouse for storing items related to corporate promotional and recognition programs. Currently, those products are spread between two warehouses.

Owned by HALO, the new headquarters is on a portion of a 20-acre site. The building represents the first phase of what HALO says will eventually be a 280,000 square foot facility. The distributor broke ground in April 2017 and completed construction on time and on budget, company executives said. “Our goals were to make this the most comfortable work environment possible while providing flexibility for substantial future growth,” said Simon. “We have achieved these goals.”

With reported 2016 North American promotional product revenue of $282.3 million, HALO ranked 5th on Counselor’s most recent list of the largest distributors in the industry. The company has been around for 66 years.
