PLEASANTON, CA -- To better serve its Mid-Atlantic customers, Simpson Strong-Tie is setting up shop in Jessup, Maryland. The 39,600 sq. ft. facility will operate as a product distribution center and a will-call desk for local area customers. Shipping from Jessup will begin May 1st.
The Jessup warehouse will stock inventory to fill orders for Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Washington D.C., eastern West Virginia, eastern Pennsylvania, and southern New Jersey. Previously, orders from these areas would have shipped from the Simpson Strong-Tie facility in Columbus, Ohio.
With this local presence, shipping time for product orders will decrease significantly -- from up to four days to now just one day. "Customers also can pick up orders at our will-call desk to save time," said Kevin Dill, sales manager for Simpson Strong-Tie.
The facility will house more than 1,400 products. "This increased product offering gives designers and engineers more versatility with product specifications because they know that our product line will be readily available to their builder and contractor customers," added Dill.
Customers in the Mid-Atlantic region will continue to receive technical support from the Columbus, Ohio, facility. Technical support is available five days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (EST) by calling 800-999-5099.
