Omnichannel furniture supplier Steve Silver Company has announced the addition of a 400,000 square foot warehouse in Mesquite, Texas as part of its 5-year growth plan.
The new Mesquite warehouse brings the total warehouse space operated by the company to a total of 900,000 square feet. The new state-of-the-art warehouse features $10 million of racking designed specifically for upholstery. Each rack has bays to accommodate most upholstery frames easily and supports the facility’s Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) designed to increase turnaround and reduce damage on upholstery. The advanced racking system is the first installation of its kind in furniture and is designed to maximize warehouse space, allowing the facility to hold 1,700 containers and 50,000 pallet positions.
“Our motion upholstery business has exploded since we entered the category in 2018, and it was critical that we add additional upholstery warehouse capacity to support and expand that part of the business for our customers,” commented Steve Silver, CEO of Steve Silver Company. “This new warehouse will improve our in-stock position and dramatically increase our turnaround so we can quickly satisfy the needs of dealers in our market.”
The company begins shipping from the new warehouse in June, starting with a mixable truckload program.
