Endries International Inc., a recognized leader in fasteners and Class-C components, proudly announced its upcoming expansion with a new distribution center in Texas. This cutting-edge facility will not only double the company’s current distribution capacity but also reflect its commitment to excellent service for its customers.
Strategic Location for Enhanced Service
The selection of Fort Worth as the site for the new facility is a strategic move to bolster Endries' logistics and supply chain capabilities. This distribution center is designed to enhance the delivery speed and efficiency of services provided to customers.
