OUR ROOTS
For more than 135 years, the Coors family has owned an important and highly productive property prominently situated in downtown Golden, Colorado. Since 1910, this five-block area has been home to manufacturing and research facilities of CoorsTek (formerly Coors Porcelain), a ceramic materials company with 30 facilities in a dozen countries. In this role, the site has produced industry-leading technical ceramic products, pioneering innovations in kiln technology, and even the invention of the aluminum beverage can.
With construction underway elsewhere in Golden of state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities for the company, the Coors family determined that the soon-to-be surplus property would host a new CoorsTek global headquarters built as part of a new dynamic mixed-use district. AC Development was established to design, build, and operate this new district and leverage its unique resources to acquire and develop additional assets.
