THEODORE, Ala. — BendPak Inc., a manufacturer of vehicle lifts and garage equipment, has opened a 90,000-sq.-ft. warehouse building at its Theodore location, nearly doubling the size of its East Coast logistics and distribution center.
The Santa Paula, Calif.-based company said the expansion enables it to increase its inventory capacity and call-center staffing to provide faster order processing and shorter lead times for customers in the eastern half of the U.S.
Shortly after BendPak established its 100,000-sq.-ft. Theodore facility in early 2020, it bought the adjoining property and began constructing the new building.
The state-of-the-art facility features warehouse space, multiple docks, covered flatbed-staging and -loading areas, administrative offices and a call center.
"Opening this new facility is part of our ongoing efforts to maximize product availability while minimizing time-in-transit to customers across the United States," BendPak COO Rudy Diaz said.
"It's fully stocked with the most popular lifts and shop equipment from across our brand lineup, including BendPak, Ranger, QuickJack, Cool Boss and Dannmar, all supported by a dedicated team of local employees."
