Endries International Inc. began moving into its new distribution center in Fort Worth, TX, CEO Michael Knight announced on LinkedIn.

“First step is getting our Assembly Fasteners business in Garland settled into the new distribution center in Fort Worth and begin shipping from there (on March 3). Next step is moving our Haltom City operations in the middle of this month.”

Last step is establishing the operation as a Foreign Trade Zone, Knight added.

“The timing of all this is perfect. We are out of space in current facilities, we are growing fast in Texas, and the FTZ status creates many advantages as the waves of new tariffs wash over us all.”

The facility doubles Endries’ capacity to 65,000 sq ft and is located near intermodal yards for faster delivery.

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.

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.
