Endries International opened a 130,000 sq ft distribution center in Algonquin, IL.

“With this move, we have proactively increased our operations footprint in Illinois by 50%, reflecting our confidence in the future of OEM manufacturing in the U.S.,” stated CEO Michael Knight. “This, too, is our first implementation of a new, high capacity, high throughput distribution system that we will standardize on for similar planned operations expansion in other regions of the country.”

The facility includes LED lights throughout the location, featuring motion sensors and automatic shutoff to reduce energy usage.

The opening comes less than a week after Endries acquired Florida-based ServTronics.

Founded in 1970, Brillion, WI-based Endries International sources 500,000 SKUs, including fasteners and related production components for OEMs, from worldwide suppliers. Web: endries.com
