Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Founded in 1960, Gray Construction (Lexington, Kentucky) has become one of the leading U.S. construction firms, with offices in multiple states and three offices outside of the U.S. Industrial Info is tracking projects valued at more than $19.6 billion in which Gray is playing a role. The projects span multiple industries and include some of the largest multibillion-dollar projects underway in the U.S. today.
The entrance of electric vehicles (EVs) into the market in recent years has been a game-changer for the automotive sector, with automakers scrambling to secure materials and install equipment to manufacture this different breed of automobile. One of the largest EV and battery-manufacturing complexes under construction in the U.S. features Gray Construction as a general contractor for the 4 million-square-foot plant jointly owned by Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) (Dearborn, Michigan) and SK Innovation (Seoul, South Korea). Gray began turning dirt on the plant in 2022 and is expected to wrap up work in 2025, when the plant will ramp up to full production of 1.3 million EVs a year, including the electric versions of Ford's best-selling F-Series pickups and 43 gigawatt-hours of EV batteries. In addition to the pickups, the batteries will be used in other Ford and Lincoln models manufactured elsewhere.

Volkswagen gave new life to the Scout Motors (Tysons, Virginia) brand in 2022 with the aim to manufacture the next generation of rugged electric SUVs and trucks. Scout is establishing a grassroot manufacturing space in Blythewood, South Carolina, for which Gray is providing general contracting services. The campus will include several manufacturing buildings, including an assembly area, body shop, battery assembly shop, paint shop and more. The plant is expected to be completed in 2026, and Gray already is lined up for an expansion project kicking off that year that will add seven to 10 other buildings that will enable the plant to double its production capacity when completed in late 2027.

Showing Gray's versatility, more than $3.2 billion worth of the company's projects tracked by Industrial Info are part of the Food & Beverage Industry, including one of the largest cattle-processing plants in the U.S. Gray broke ground on American Foods Group LLC's (Green Bay, Wisconsin) grassroot beef-processing plant in Wright City, Missouri, in 2022. Upon completion, which is expected early next year, the approximately $800 million plant will be able to process 2,400 head of cattle per day and will add 1,300 jobs to the area.

Other food and beverage projects involving Gray include Nestlé Purina PetCare Company's (Saint Louis, Missouri) first factory built from the ground up since 1975. The 1.2 million-square-foot plant near Williamsburg, Ohio, will produce dry pet foods such as Purina Pro Plan, Purina ONE and Dog Chow. Gray has been providing design-build services on the project for several years. Construction kicked off in late 2020 and is expected to be completed early next year.

Gray also is heading up construction near the Denver International Airport in Colorado on what will be PepsiCo Incorporated's (NASDAQ:PEP) (Harrison, New York) largest bottling plant in the U.S. The two-story, 1.2 million-square-foot facility will house 10 manufacturing lines as well as a warehouse automated storage retrieval system to produce products including Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Gatorade, Propel energy drinks and Muscle Milk. The project is on track to be completed in the first quarter of next year. Subscribers can click here for more details on the project.
Gray also has hit it big with several contracts from e-commerce giant Amazon.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:AMZN) (Seattle, Washington) for data centers in Oregon, Mississippi and Ohio. The project in Hermiston, Oregon, is the largest of these, with the grassroot Phase I construction of the plant set for completion early next year, two subsequent phases of construction already underway, and a fourth phase of construction set to kick off early next year, reaching an expected conclusion in 2026.
