Endries International Inc. will open a new distribution center in Fort Worth, TX, doubling capacity to 65,000 sq ft.

Located near intermodal yards, the new warehouse will provide faster delivery. Additionally, the establishment of a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) within the facility will enable Endries to more easily navigate the increasingly complex environment of import tariffs and duties.

Proximity to West Coast ports and Latin America will benefit Endries’ southern customers and serve as an efficient staging hub to support warehouse operations in Mexico.

“Our investment in this new distribution center is driven by our growing business in the region,” stated President Michael Knight. “With increased capacity, improved logistics access, and the benefits of an FTZ, we are poised to deliver even greater value to our customers while positioning ourselves for on-going long-term growth.”

“This new facility represents an important step forward in our operational capabilities,” added Jeff Poulos, Executive VP of Operations. “From its strategic location to its enhanced capacity and FTZ benefits, this center will deliver real-time, best in class vendor managed inventory services to our customers’ production lines.”

The new distribution center is expected to begin operations by February 28.

Founded in 1970, Brillion, WI-based Endries distributes 800,000 SKUs, including fasteners and related production components, through 26 distribution centers across North America and Europe.
