Flowcrete opens new warehouse & distribution centre in B.C.

Flowcrete Canada has opened a new warehouse and distribution centre located just outside of Vancouver in Pitt Meadows, B.C.

This move is designed to meet the increasing demand for the company’s specialty resin flooring solutions and enable continued sales growth in the Western Canada region, having outgrown the previous facility.

The new 4,000 ft² centre will serve as a regional hub for the distribution of Flowcrete Americas’ polymer flooring materials and specialty coatings; increasing capacity, enabling a broader product mix to be stocked and delivering reduced lead times for local customers.

The company’s investment into improving infrastructure and logistics in the region also sees a new hire to support the new facility — Byron Laus as warehouse supervisor.

Laus is said to have a wealth of experience in warehouse inventory management and is familiar with Flowcrete product having previously worked with several of Flowcrete Canada’s applicator partners in the B.C. area.

Ben Smith, country manager for Flowcrete Canada says that the centre will greatly improve the service by allowing the company to ship product quickly and more efficiently.

Flowcrete Americas’ vice president, David McNeece, cut the ribbon on the new centre on August 18th at a celebratory event, in which local coatings applicator customers were invited to tour the new facility.
