BARTON International's expanded warehouse and processing center in the Port of South Louisiana.
BARTON International has expanded its capabilities to receive, store and process BARTON brand garnet following the expansion of its Port of South Louisiana warehouse and processing center. The project nearly tripled its storage footprint.
BARTON International, in conjunction with Associated Terminals, which manages the Reserve, LA, facility, held a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the warehouse.
The new building, which covers 77,000 sq. ft., comprises an annex adjacent to its existing 44,000 sq. ft. structure. The expanded facility holds vast quantities of industrial garnet used in waterjet cutting, coatings removal and other specialized abrasives applications. The project included a new roadway and other paved areas, as well as a loading dock ramp, truck scales and bulk storage bins.
"We have upgraded our processing operations by building out the lines from three to four," BARTON Director of Warehouse Operations Delroy Ross said. "Our new air washing process represents the most current cleaning technology and our sophisticated screening ensures high product consistency and quality."
Ross noted that the facility's packaging unit can produce multiple configurations - including, for example, bulk and 25 kg. bags - designed for a range of customer needs. "Our state-of-the art robotics palletizing delivers top speed and efficiency," he said. "The new warehouse complex has enabled us to streamline these operations and consolidate everything under one roof."
