C.R. Laurence Co. Inc. (CRL-U.S. Aluminum) has begun multiple facility expansions at its corporate headquarters in Los Angeles.
The new facilities will be located at 2651 45th Street and 2716 E. Vernon Avenue. Construction will be completed early this summer. Together, they will add an additional 120,000 square feet of space to CRL-U.S. Aluminum’s existing 1,000,000+ square feet manufacturing and distribution footprint in Los Angeles.
The new facilities have been designed to enhance manufacturing and distribution processes. This will increase production, boost stock inventories, and provide shorter lead times to customers so they can better meet tight project timelines.
CRL-U.S. Aluminum has built a nationwide network of more than 30 service centers that are backed by the operations and supply chain initiatives at the Los Angeles manufacturing headquarters.
“It’s always been about the customer,” says Donald Friese, chair and CEO of CRL-U.S. Aluminum. “These expansions will let us provide more of the products and services our customers need with shorter lead times. We’re committed to investing in our business so they can more easily grow theirs.”
“Facility expansions represent our commitment to our growth initiatives,” adds Lloyd Talbert, president of CRL-U.S. Aluminum. “They’re also extensions of our core philosophy of providing the best service possible to our customers.”
