Cost-effective manufacturing solutions and a best-in-class workplace for 300+ employees in Texas

K&N New Headquarters and Manufacturing Facility

K&N is an industry leader in automotive filtration and technology, manufacturing products to increase performance, protection, and longevity in thousands of vehicle applications. K&N turned to Stantec when they were ready to relocate their corporate headquarters, pioneer an automated warehouse, and streamline manufacturing operations from multiple sites into one dynamic facility.

K&N’s new 30,000-square-foot (2,787-square-metre) office in Grand Prairie, Texas, is built for performance—just like their industry. Inspired by the pleats and conical shape of their filters and the fast-paced world of racing, the showroom, boardroom, and main lobby feature pleated fixtures, wooden beams, and exposed ceilings accented with rock concrete and burnished metal. Everything from the training and break rooms to the warehouse equipment embraces a branded color palette.

Alongside this striking workplace, our engineers designed a 525,000-square-foot (48,774-square-metre) manufacturing and distribution hub, engineered for efficiency and future growth. The buildings are equipped with the latest technology in manufacturing and distribution equipment, dust-collection systems, and compressed air and nitrogen distribution setups. The team also orchestrated the relocation of a prep and paint production line and designed a floor-supported utility distribution system, supporting seamless scalability for years to come.

Together, Stantec and K&N developed cost-effective solutions to their unique manufacturing process needs while offering a best-in-class workplace, creating a high-performing, next-gen environment for 300+ employees.
