A power tool company based in China will consolidate some of its North American offices to create a new headquarters in Naperville along the Interstate 88 corridor.

The 1203 E. Warrenville Road location built in 2015 for Swedish company SKF will become the new home of Chervon North America, part of Nanjing, China-based Chervon Holdings, one of the world's largest manufacturers of power tools and related products.

The company produces the EGO line of cordless outdoor products, including snowblowers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers and trimmers sold at home improvement stores such as The Home Depot.

Joe Turoff, chief marketing officer for Chervon North America, said his company chose the site at because it best fit the company's needs.

"Considering the location of our current employees, Naperville seemed like the perfect city," Turoff said.

The company plans to consolidate 75 workers from its current headquarters in Grand Rapids, Mich., as well as from its offices in South Barrington and Geneva.

Another 37 employees will come from Chervon's acquisition of Mount Prospect-based Robert Bosch Tool's Skil and Skilsaw brands, which was completed Jan. 1.

Plans also are in the works to hire 25 new workers this year and another 75 over the next three years.

Considering the demographics and the skills of area workers, Turoff said, "Naperville is a perfect location for talent acquisition."

Because Chervon is a global company with locations in China, Europe, Australia and North America, Turoff said a lot people will be traveling to and from Naperville, so easy access to the airports also was a factor.

He said officials from the city and the Naperville Development Partnership have been integral in helping bring the company to Naperville. "The community has been fantastic, and it's been great working with Christine Jeffries (president of the Naperville Development Partnership)," he said.

Turoff said he expects workers will move into their new offices in May.

A report from Cushman & Wakefield, one of the firms handling the lease of the property, Chervon North America will sublease more than half of the 135,000-square-foot facility.

A year and a half ago SKF, which makes bearings, seals and lubrication systems, backed out on its plans to move into the two-story office, research and development facility on about 13 acres at the northwest corner of Warrenville Road and Lucent Lane.

The Naperville City Council approved the design plans for the building in August 2014. SKF had planned to bring 200 jobs to the city.
