UKIAH, Calif. — “The Cart Guys®” at Maxi-Movers™, the manufacturing division of Chem-Tainer Industries, reports that construction of the company’s new 7,000-square-foot factory in Northern California is nearing completion.
“Knock on wood but this project and site selection’s been a breeze thus far,” says Christopher Glen, director of Maxi-Movers. “The people here are great and we’re excited to become a part of their community. This factory nicely complements our plant in Los Angeles, boosting the West Coast’s manufacturing capacity, which particularly benefits our Pacific Northwest customers by reducing delivery times and freight costs.”
The additional California facility will be Chem-Tainer’s 11th factory, bringing its total number of manufacturing sites capable of offering full product lines to serve the textile and linen processing industry to 20, according to the company.
“Maxi-Movers urgently needed to increase production capabilities to meet this decade’s rapidly accelerating demand, so new molding operations were a necessity,” says Glen. “Strategically, our coverage zone now fully blankets the U.S., and we can better serve our customers in South Central and Northwest with even more convenient shipping points. It’s just one of those unique circumstances where everybody wins. I’m excited to be a part of it and eager to announce the next phase, when appropriate to do so.”
Construction of an additional California-based manufacturing facility caps off a busy time of growth, the company says.
“This past spring, we celebrated the opening of a newly constructed factory just outside Atlanta,” says Tony Lamb, vice president of Chem-Tainer Industries. “It was important to accomplish our goals for the Georgia plant in their entirety and use that momentum to concentrate on completing a new factory in Texas on schedule summer ’15.”
