Storage Solutions — the Indianapolis-based employee-owned manufacturer of industrial storage and materials handling equipment – is making a big push into the Western market by opening a new office in Ontario, California, and a 50,000 square foot distributions center in nearby Montebello.
The new warehouse and distribution center will house a wide variety of the company’s products, including pallet racks, shelving, mezzanines, wire decking, cantilever and carton flow racks, pick modules and conveyors.
The company decided to increase its profile on the West Coast because the region represents a huge marketplace for the types of products it sells, according to Storage Solutions president Kevin Rowles. Between the two of them, Los Angeles and Riverside counties have more than one billion square feet of industrial manufacturing and distribution space. Plus, they are located in one of the largest transportation centers in world.
“This is the ideal location for our company’s expansion in an are that offers tremendous growth potential,” Rowles told the website Modern Materials Handling. “We will be able to provide our customers in the western region with enhanced support in all aspects of their projects, including layout and design of warehousing, new and used equipment, project management and post-install services.
