BETHLEHEM, PA—Innovative Control Systems, a provider of technology solutions for the car wash industry, is expanding its operations with a new manufacturing location in Bethlehem, PA.  ICS will occupy a 52,000 square-foot building at 16 South Commerce Way in the Lehigh Valley Industrial Park IV, owned and operated by J.G. Petrucci Co. It's the second project that the two companies have partnered on over the last 15-years.

“We are excited to be working with the J.G. Petrucci team again,” says Kevin Detrick, founder and president of Innovative Control Systems. “J.G. Petrucci really understands our requirements and was able to provide us with multiple, attractive, building options to accommodate our expansion need. Ultimately, we were attracted to 16 South Commerce Way because of its excellent highway access, open layout, loading capabilities, and climate controlled environment.”

Designed to accommodate the current and future needs of ICS, 16 South Commerce Way provides direct access to Route 512 and 22 and is surrounded by restaurants, retail and entertainment.

“It was a pleasure working with Kevin and his team on this transaction,” says Tom Shaughnessy, director of business development at J.G. Petrucci. “Our building provided ICS with the space and location that they needed.”

J.G. Petrucci's relationship with ICS began in 2003, when the firm was searching for a full-service development company that would enable its real estate vision to come to fruition in Wind Gap, PA. J.G. Petrucci worked with ICS to gain all development approvals and complete the design/build construction of its 24,800 square-foot office and warehouse facility on Jacobsburg Road.

“Our top priority in any project is to earn the trust and respect of our clients,” says Jim Petrucci, founder and president of J.G. Petrucci. “A substantial amount of our business has been with repeat clients and we are pleased that ICS has continued to trust us to create a platform for their business success as they continue to grow.”
