Cohn Construction completes new 100,000 SF distribution center for FAYAT Group
February 12, 2026
Cohn Construction has completed the new 100,000 SF distribution center for the FAYAT Group, located on a 30-acre site in Ridgeway, SC.
The distribution center is designed to support FAYAT Group’s growing North American operations and includes 96,500 SF of fully conditioned warehouse space and 3,500 SF of office space. Constructed with precast concrete walls and a structural steel frame, the building provides a 32-foot clear height to accommodate high-pile storage and expanded material handling capacity.
Construction was completed within a 35-week schedule, with site circulation carefully planned to streamline truck movement and material flow. The warehouse is air conditioned to maintain consistent temperature and humidity for stored materials. The facility also includes an ESFR fire suppression system, along with electrical and special systems designed to support expanding logistics and distribution capabilities and future expansion for an additional 100,000 SF.
“We worked side by side with the FAYAT team throughout the project,” said Brian E. Pattison, President of Cohn Construction. “That partnership helped us deliver a high-quality distribution center that supports their operations today and positions them well for long-term growth.”
“The construction of the new FAYAT Distribution Center in Ridgeway is a major milestone for the FAYAT Group’s expansion plans for North America,” said Rob Mueckler, President of FAYAT Road Equipment Division of North America. “I was very pleased to partner with Cohn Construction on this project, and the result is a building that meets both our current and future needs for the growth of FAYAT operations in Fairfield County, furthering our commitment to invest in this community.”
Cohn Construction’s partnership with the FAYAT Group on this project has helped deliver a facility designed to support their operational growth while contributing to economic development in Fairfield County.
