LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shorr
Packaging Corp. ("Shorr") will expand to a new location on
June 25th, to accommodate growing
demands within the surrounding Los
Angeles area, serving the needs of customers within the
Inland Empire, Los Angeles County,
Orange County and San Diego County areas.
"In order to improve our efficiencies and be able to provide
our products and services to the growing customer base in the
Los Angeles market, Shorr required
a larger facility," mentions Craig
Funkhouser, Chief Executive Officer. "The larger footprint
will help us invest in the future of our Company as we capitalize
upon the opportunities we have in front of us."
With the new locality only 0.4 miles from the previous location,
the centralized "Ontario"
operation will be close to US Route 60, a major state highway
convenient for east-west travel from California to Virginia and Interstate I-10, an essential
part of the National Highway system. Also located conveniently near
Route 15, a major north-south highway thoroughfare extends through
Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho
and Montana to the Canadian
border. As a national packaging company, these easy access points
will serve a crucial part of the distribution for all Shorr
customers, carriers and vendors.
"Shorr Packaging is proud to be able to serve our customers
better. The new facility will allow us to consolidate two separate
operations and support our customers with greater efficiency,
speed, and flexibility," comments Don
Herweck, West - Regional Director of Operations. "The
combined strength of the operations staff currently in two
locations will bring the team together, create the greatest use of
manpower, and allow us to continuing growing in the western region
while exceeding our customer expectations."
Shorr is relocating to an industrial business area with a larger
186,000 square foot locale, expanding both its office and warehouse
space by over 60% in total. Facility utilizes the newer,
sustainable "green" T8 state-of the-art warehouse lighting system.
All requirements for energy efficiency and handicap access are met
to standard by Title 24 in the state of California. Facility will continue to provide
a Corrugated Design Center and add an Equipment Demo area for
Lantech, 3M and Sharp packaging
equipment.
"Shorr is extremely excited to be expanding our footprint in
the Los Angeles market," states
Terence Wilborn, Division Manager.
"Over the last 4 years, we have seen significant growth in the
market from our current and new customers. This expansion gives us
the ability to continue bringing value-added solutions and
high-level service to our customers."
This west-coast location marks the seventh expansion for Shorr
within a two-year span, not including the additions of other new
buildings and building extensions, to accommodate for overflow.
