Westmill Industries Moves Headquarters 

Westmill Industries has moved headquarters to a new, larger facility located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Can.

With more than five times more office, warehouse and shop space, and more than 10 times more yard and covered outside storage space than its previous facility, Westmill now has the much needed, and long overdue, capacity to continue its strong growth.

“We are extremely fortunate to have found such a perfect new location to call home,” comments Mike Crondahl, President and Owner of Westmill. “A freestanding building beside the airport, large offices, warehouse and a wonderful private gated property—we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location to call home.”

Along with its new headquarters in Abbotsford, Westmill has warehouses in Eugene, Ore. and Atlanta, Ga.
