WEST DUNDEE, IL (July 2, 2025) – Keeley Construction has officially broken ground on a 132,000-square-foot expansion of HELUKABEL USA’s facility at 1201 Wesemann Drive in West Dundee, Illinois. Upon completion, the facility will span over 200,000 square feet, strengthening HELUKABEL’s position as a leading provider of electrical system solutions in North America.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on June 18 to commemorate the start of construction. Team members from HELUKABEL USA, representatives from the Village of West Dundee, Keeley Construction staff, and project partners gathered to celebrate this exciting milestone.
“Our vision for this project is ambitious, and it reflects our commitment to growth as well as product and service excellence,” said Jurrien van den Akker, President of HELUKABEL USA. “Our vertical integration—including cables, connectors, plug-and-play assemblies, and cable guidance systems—enables us to deliver fully populated, ready-to-install electrical solutions to our partners.”
The expansion will introduce new warehouse, office, and climate-controlled electrical systems development and testing spaces, marking the first time these types of operations will take place on-site in the US.
Inside, the office area will be expanded to feature a modern gym, dedicated cable testing and assembly spaces, updated locker rooms and showers, and a new employee breakroom. Keeley’s trusted MEP trade partners are leading the design-build mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work to support the facility’s enhanced functionality.
