Vertical Integration: Building Up, Not Out, for Frontgrade Technologies
Commercial by Cook & Krupa
Frontgrade Technologies, a leader in RF and electronic solutions for aerospace and defense, faced
storage challenges due to limited floor space and low ceiling height. Cook & Krupa, in collaboration with
Butler Manufacturing™ and Abel Womack, provided an innovative solution: a custom 40-foot Butler preengineered silo structure housing a Kardex Remstar Vertical Lift Module (VLM).
This vertical integration maximized storage capacity, improved inventory management, and reclaimed
valuable floor space. Despite a six-month COVID-19 permitting delay, the project was completed within
a year, offering a rapid return on investment.
