Flexo Concepts opens new warehouse

Flexo Concepts, distributors of MicroClean brand anilox-roll cleaning equipment and supplies, has announced the opening of a new warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The company is now shipping its MicroClean plastic media from the Cincinnati location and its headquarters in Plymouth, Massachusetts, resulting in faster delivery times and reduced freight costs to its customers. 

‘Flexo Concepts has built its reputation on high quality products delivered quickly,” said Kevin McLaughlin, president. ‘By opening our warehouse in Ohio, as well as a soon-to-be-announced location on the West Coast, we continue to enhance our reputation for super-fast deliveries.’

The additional warehouse openings are in line with Flexo Concepts’ philosophy of helping customers operate more efficiently by maintaining leaner inventories.  The company introduced its QuikShip program in November, 2004 to help corrugated printers reduce their inventory of doctor blades by guaranteeing 24-hour fulfillment on blade orders. Similarly, the new warehouse openings will allow Flexo Concepts to offer one to two day shipping to all of its customers in the United States for its MicroClean media.

Kevin McLaughlin said: ‘Reducing inventory is a critical part of any lean manufacturing effort, but to make it happen you have to have suppliers that can deliver low minimum quantities, on demand, consistently.’
