While Senco has been in the region since its founding in 1948, the new global headquarters brings employees from all divisions under one roof for the first time in the company’s history. Senco partnered with SHP to design an expansion of the existing industrial manufacturing facility on-site to house a new office environment for its 140 employees. The resulting design encourages employee collaboration and innovation while also improving quality control.

"This new facility will enable us to chart the future of that reputation through greater communication and collaboration, and allow us to continuously improve the tools and fasteners relied on by builders all over the world, from right here in our hometown of Cincinnati."

– Cliff Mentrup, CEO of Senco
