Simpson Strong-Tie strengthens its supply chain
Simpson Strong-Tie staged ribbon-cutting ceremonies at three new warehouse, distribution, and training centers in Denver, Salt Lake City, and Kent, Washington.
Part of a strategic investment to increase the Simpson Strong-Tie US distribution footprint, the new facilities will expand the range of products available for next-day delivery across the Northwest, the company said.
The new distribution hubs include warehousing facilities, office space, training centers, and newly designed, two-story demonstration rooms to host contractors and lumber and building material (LBM) suppliers for project and product training classes. The new facilities are expected to create 50-plus new jobs as Simpson Strong-Tie deploys additional resources to optimize its US supply chain and ensure reliable product availability with faster and more timely delivery.
“These new locations, in combination with our manufacturing facility in Stockton California, will provide customers greater access to our products and solutions by offering a wide variety of inventory and expertise,” says Simpson Strong-Tie CEO Mike Olosky. “Simpson Strong-Tie is committed to offering next-day service to our customers throughout the Northwest, and these new locations move us in this direction.”
As supply chain woes have continued to impact building product and material availability for construction projects, Simpson Strong-Tie is investing heavily to grow their already robust US manufacturing and distribution presence. The simultaneous grand openings come on the heels of a groundbreaking in Columbus, Ohio, to build an expanded manufacturing and distribution center there. That project is expected to create an additional 120 jobs.
