ACI expands Hampton Roads footprint

Richmond-based Atlantic Constructors Inc. is expanding its presence in Hampton Roads with a new 39,000-square-foot facility in Suffolk and 75 new jobs, the company announced June 2.

Previously, ACI had three small offices in Hampton Roads, and the company has consolidated two of them into a larger, more modern facility, a company spokesperson said. The new office is at 2000 Amedeo Court, in the Suffolk Industrial Park.

“Our vision is to set up regional offices with a leadership team responsible for all operations within that region. This will help us provide better support for our customer’s facility needs by allowing us to offer all of our services through one team,” ACI Director of Marketing Eddie Williams said in an email.

ACI moved to its Suffolk location in 2021 and has been expanding it since, consolidating its service group into the facility in May 2022 and adding the fire protection group at the same time.

“We are very excited to share in ACI Atlantic Constructors’ expansion announcement,” Suffolk Mayor Mike Duman said in a statement. “The purchase of this industrial building to establish a larger footprint and expand operations shows their unwavering commitment to this community, our people and our future.”

ACI has 1,100 employees across Virginia and North Carolina and will have 75 employees in the new location within two years.

The industrial and commercial contractor also has offices in Richmond, Roanoke, Sterling and Wilmington, North Carolina.
