Anderson Trucking Service is expanding its corporate office in St. Cloud, Minn., adding 20,000 square feet to accommodate current and future anticipated growth.

Planning for the new addition to accommodate the growing corporate support team began last fall. After looking at lease options in community, the company decided to go forward with an expansion to keep its corporate team together. The expansion is expected to be completed next spring.

"Being a part of a cohesive team to support our larger mission is an important part of our culture here,” said Scott Follett, director of facilities. “The Anderson family recognized that this aspect would be missing if we were to utilize a leased space and made a solid decision to keep everyone under one roof."

The expansion is adding 10,000 square feet of space per floor, giving ATS’s corporate offices the capacity for an additional 200 seats. The expansion will also allow for six more conference rooms.

ATS is a Minn.-based carrier with flatbed, specialized, alternative energy, van and international transportation and logistics offerings.
