The 30,000 square foot
facility, located in Spring, TX, will allow the flooring manufacturer to more
than double its production capacity from 10 million pounds per year to over 20
million pounds.
This development has been
designed to not only significantly boost the company’s manufacturing output but
also to enable Flowcrete Americas to build upon its reputation for high levels
of customer satisfaction by ensuring a superior response capacity despite a
sharp rise in demand and workload.
The Managing Director of
Flowcrete Americas, Dave McNeece, said: “Over the past decade the Americas’
construction industry has really embraced our products, so much so that we have
now outgrown the production capacity and working space of our previous
facility.
“This new premises will do a
great deal to meet our current manufacturing requirements while also
future-proofing the business, meaning that we can confidently continue with the
business expansion plan Flowcrete Americas has put in place across both North
America and Latin America.
“Our clients will see a
direct and immediate benefit from this development as it will allow us to
produce more materials and deliver them to construction sites faster - reducing
lead times for even the largest orders.”
Officially to open in
September, the new facility will include a long list of advantages over the
flooring specialist’s previous site. The total area of the building is almost
double that of the old one, allowing for significantly larger production,
office, warehouse and laboratory areas as well as 6 more loading docks and
double the number of both packaging and liquid mixer stations.
The plant has been
constructed with the principles of safety firmly in mind and it will feature a
highly protective fire suppression system that includes a foam based high
density ceiling sprinkler system as well as end rack sprinklers.
Flowcrete Americas, part of
the UK based Flowcrete Group Ltd, has been a leading manufacturer of polymer
floor and wall coating solutions since it began operating in 2004. Its systems
have been designed for use in a variety of environments including heavy
industry, large-scale commercial locations and government facilities.
In addition to the company’s
manufacturing plant, it also has a West Coast warehousing facility in Los
Angeles, CA and sales representatives working across the USA, Canada, Latin
America and the Caribbean.
