Also on hand were Phill Kortokrax, chairman of the Cooper Tire subsidiary (center) and Bob Conger, warehouse facility manager.

    STOW, Ohio — Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels has completed its move to its new headquarters in Stow, where it has roughly double the warehousing capacity of its previous headquarters located across the street from the new one.

    Company executives and local officials --- including Stow Mayor Sara Kline – gathered early on Dec. 1 to cut the ceremonial ribbon on the 219,765-sq.ft. structure in Stow's Prosper Drive Industrial Park.

    The building is situated on approximately 15.4 acres and is expandable by 50,000 square feet, according to Freehold, N.J.-based Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corp., which owns the structure.

    The building is capable of storing 150,000 tires and 80,000 wheels, according to Tom Gerity, director of operations for the new facility, which has 32-foot-high ceilings, providing room to stack carriers five high.

    Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels has completed its move to its new headquarters in Stow, Ohio

    Mickey Thompson is converting its warehousing at the new facility to an RF-scanning system, he added, which should yield significant gains in efficiency.

    This is the third headquarters Mickey Thompson has had in Stow since its founding in 1963. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. bought the business in 2003.

    The company thus far has not added jobs, but President Dominick Wycoff said it's only a matter of time as the firm's business picks up going into 2018.
