Western Canadian Customers Now Receive
Product in 1 to 2 Days
Lawson Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAWS) a distributor of
products and services to the MRO marketplace, held an open house to
celebrate its new distribution center in Alberta, Canada. The new
distribution center, co-located in the recently acquired facility
of The Bolt Supply House, allows Lawson to reduce product delivery
time to within one to two business days to its Western Canadian
customers.
"Our investment in the Alberta Distribution Center is helping to
ensure all Lawson Products’ customers get the products they need in
a timely manner to keep their operations running smoothly,” said
Michael DeCata, president and chief executive officer, Lawson
Products. “We have been in Canada since 1984 and we’re committed to
providing the competitive combination of the right products,
reliable service and technical expertise that saves our customers
time and money.”
The 43,000 square foot Alberta Distribution Center stocks more
than 15,000 items. Managed through Lawson’s existing SAP and GAINS
inventory forecasting systems, the Alberta Distribution Center
receives quick replenishment from the company’s McCook, Illinois
packaging and distribution center enabling consistent high order
completion rates for its customers.
“Shipping Lawson and Kent Automotive products from this Alberta
location means Western Canada customers now have the opportunity to
benefit from even more high performance products and receive them
in a very timely manner,” said Peter Mailman, senior sales
director, Lawson Products. “In anticipation of the Alberta opening,
we expanded our geographic coverage in the region by adding more
sales people to the team. In just a few short weeks, we have
already received very positive feedback from our customers and have
seen sales growth based on our enhanced regional fulfillment
capabilities.”
