Russin launches 'Project 270'
Building products distributor and manufacturer Russin has announced a new initiative designed to enhance its ability to keep up with customer demand.
Project 270 is a companywide mission around operational growth and excellence, designed to help bolster Russin’s customers’ success, the company said.
The Montgomery, New York-based company noted, “growth our industry has seen in the past three years has been remarkable” while noting it has witnessed a “tremendous uptick in business.”
The new initiative is expected to be completed by mid-March 2024 and will increase Russin’s daily capacity for handled orders by over 60%.
Combined with increased company-owned trucking to rapidly get products to market, Project 270 is the next step in growing Russin’s distribution business.
Russin also said that Project 270 will provide more advancement opportunities for Russin’s employees. Russin is already one of Montgomery’s largest employers.
Additionally, Russin’s customers will see faster and more nimble delivery service to enable them to be the best suppliers they can be to their regional markets.
“Project 270 represents a significant investment in our business, and in our customers’ businesses,” said Larry Gately, continuous improvement manager at Russin. “We’re starting from a place of great data and improving standard operating procedures, and Project 270 will enable our customers’ growth for many years to come.”
Russin’s delivery radius covers 13 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. The company owns and operates distribution, milling, and factory finishing facilities.
