In 2007, BRANDT moved into their new headquarters in Springfield, IL. “When we built the current building, only 5 years ago, it was specifically designed for growth by adding new wings to either end.” said BRANDT President and CEO Rick Brandt. “We didn’t expect to out-grow the building in such a short amount of time, but we are experiencing growth throughout the entire company. We are expanding into new global markets while at the same time increasing our market share in local and domestic markets. As we continue to grow so does the demand for resources to support that growth.”
