Larson Manufacturing, the largest producer of storm doors and storm windows in the United States, has opened a new 130,000 square foot distribution center adjacent to its manufacturing facility in the SouthPoint Business Park in Mocksville, NC.
Relocating the distribution center increases distribution space from 70,000 square foot to 130,000 square foot which will increase the company’s ability to service its East Coast customers and will expand its manufacturing capacity, explained Troy Bunker, Director of Sourcing and Logistics at Larson Manufacturing, during a grand opening celebration facilitated by the Davie County Chamber of Commerce.
“The new distribution center will allow LARSON to optimize the picking layout and increase efficiencies in all areas,” said Dale Albright, Eastern Operations Manager for LARSON. “This relocation will set us up for future expansion and allow LARSON to more effectively utilize its premier east coast location.”
“There’s something pretty special about hosting the biggest company in the world at something,” said Terry Bralley, president of Davie County Economic Development. “LARSON has demonstrated the leadership it takes to not only become number one but to stay number one.”
SouthPoint Business Park was founded in 1998 by the Hollingsworth Cos. The park consists of 10 buildings from 72,480 to 253,180 square feet. At least two buildings are planned for 2019.
