This facility allows the company to improve manufacturing efficiency to raise production, as well as significantly increasing the amenities provided to employees.

The administrative office incorporates design elements and finishes that enhance the connection to the manufacturing process and integrate with the Danner culture and corporate branding.
The use of glazed overhead doors at conference areas—within the office as well as opening onto the manufacturing floor—allows administrative staff to monitor manufacturing status, and provides opportunities to display this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to customers.
