Gelock Heavy Movers' Grandville Property Acquisition

Grand Rapids-based Gelock Heavy Movers acquired a 4.6-acre property in Grandville, Michigan for $3.9 million. This purchase follows a previous acquisition in September, reflecting the company's growth and efforts to meet increasing customer demands.

Purpose of the Acquisition

The new property will serve as a replacement for a storage facility sold to the city of Grand Rapids last year. It will house a less active part of Gelock's operations and provides easy access to highways and the company's downtown Grand Rapids location.

Other Gelock Activities

• In September 2024, Gelock purchased 15 acres of the former General Motors Site 36 in Wyoming for nearly $2.3 million.
• The company is designing a facility for Site 36 to accommodate rigging, millwright, mobile crane, industrial machine repair, and industrial equipment sales.
• Gelock plans to retain its downtown Grand Rapids property.

Overall Strategy

Gelock's acquisitions in Grandville and Wyoming are part of a broader strategy to meet the evolving needs of its customer base.
