Storage Solutions supplies customers
The employee-owned company that’s been in business since 1982 primarily distributes storage equipment and material handling products used by third-party logistics ventures.
Storage Solutions supplies customers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia and Puerto Rico with pallet rack systems, industrial shelving, workbenches and other products that serve businesses in the manufacturing, distribution and point-to-point logistics.
Among the fulfillment centers and third-party logistics companies springing up in the region are the likes of Amazon and discount grocer Aldi. Rowles said it’s a good time to get in position for that growth.
“Economically, it makes sense for us,” he said.
Storage Solutions’ new 50,000 square-foot distribution center is at 1532 Greenwood Ave. in Montebello. The sales office is at 3281 E. Guasti Road in Ontario.
Rowles said the new California locations are ideally situated to serve current and prospective customers.
Los Angeles and Riverside counties, which together form a hub in the transportation network serving the western region, have more than 1 billion square feet of industrial manufacturing and distribution space. “Our research shows there is a need to help people who need to get up and running quickly in a warehouse and distribution center,” he said.
Storage Solutions’ customer base in the West also includes big-box stores and distribution centers that need to conform to new, ever-changing seismic regulations. A major vendor is Hannibal Industries, a City of Industry supplier of TubeRack, a new pallet rack system designed to withstand strong earthquakes.
