Mettler Toledo Safeline
Project summary provided by submitting company.
Mettler Toledo, an international supplier of precision scales and instruments for laboratory, food retailing and other industrial uses chose tilt-up to house their company's product inspection division, known as Mettler Toledo Safeline. This building features tilt-up panels cast with woodgrain formliner on both the face side and set on the near side to give a 360 degree look at the corners. The 2-story office attaches to the 150,000 sf warehouse. Exterior loading dock ramp walls were converted to tilt-up panels achieving the same look as the building.
