After 14 years on Kingsbury Street, groupset and accessories specialist SRAM has relocated its global headquarters to the West Loop neighbourhood of Chicago.
The SRAM team officially moved into the 1000 West Fulton Market Street facility on 1 June. SRAM’s new office will occupy the entire fourth floor of the Fulton Market Cold Storage building, now known as 1KFulton.
The area, originally a meatpacking and industrial district, is being transformed by new restaurants, retailers and tech firms.
“This new facility was designed to be open, naturally lit and conducive to creative development and communication,” said SRAM President Stan Day. “We’re just blocks from our founding location where it all started in 1987, so there is some history for us here. This was a long anticipated move and we’re incredibly excited to be here.”
1KFulton will also serve as the headquarters for World Bicycle Relief as well as the SRAM Cycling Fund. The 70,000 square foot facility features a 1/8th mile test track, prototype machine shop, test lab, and industrial design workshop. The new space currently serves 150 employees, with room for up to 200.
