A designer and manufacturer of trade show exhibits hopes to increase its space by 25% via the purchase of a building in Hauppauge for more than $17 million, officials said.
Nationwide 360 wants to move from Central Islip to 40 Adams Ave. in Hauppauge, which is now owned by Tara Toy Co. About $1.6 million in renovations are planned.
Nationwide 360 executives said the 75,000-square-foot building would allow the company to expand production and end the need for a separate storage facility in Brentwood.
The project also would add 10 people to Nationwide 360’s payroll of 33 in two years, said owner Steven Griffith, adding the new positions would pay between $60,000 and $90,000 per year, on average.
