One of the world's largest underground storage facilities. Currently its main use is to store field rations (MRE/ Meals-Ready-to-Eat) for the U.S. military and for humanitarian operations around the world.
The underground constant temperature is ideal for storing the rations, which have a shelf-life of roughly 7 years.
Marengo Warehouse traces its history back to an early limestone mining operation in 1886.
Mining operations concluded in in the 1980s, after which a concerted effort began to develop the huge underground galleries into warehouse storage.
In late 1995, Marengo finished the first 100,000 square feet of modern storage space in the Quarry's interior. A customer was waiting to occupy it all before it was completed.
During the years of 1996 and 1997 five more, 100,000 square foot, storage areas inside the Quarry were finished. All the warehouses were rented to international manufacturing companies, and filled with their products upon completion.
In late 1998, Marengo began construction of five additional individual warehouses inside the Quarry, all of which are now complete.
Marengo Warehouse & Distribution Center now houses twelve (12) individual warehouses, totaling in an excess of 1,300,000 square feet. When fully developed the Quarry's interior will house twenty-eight (28) Warehouses, totaling over 3,000,000 square feet of modern storage space.
Today, Marengo Warehouse & Distribution Center is starting the second phase of three construction phases and is planning a one million square feet expansion to meet the demands of storage space for their present and future clients. With the constant 56 to 60 degree temperature, and with the high cost of natural gas and other forms of energy, Marengo is able to offer the most economical solution for warehousing in the Midwest.
