Harsco’s Infrastructure Group unveils new super center business concept
Written by jrood
Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company Harsco Corporation debuted its new logistics super center business concept for the Harsco Infrastructure - Americas region with the launch of its first prototype center in Las Vegas to serve the southwestern United States.
The super center model
brings together Harsco’s rental equipment resources for scaffolding, shoring
and forming into a network of fully-equipped, region-level hub locations
specifically designed by a team of outside industrial supply chain experts to
more efficiently and effectively serve larger geographic areas. The Las Vegas
center, for example, will replace various non-customer-facing functions previously
done in Los Angeles, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix.
In addition to streamlined
processes, the new super centers will feature state of the art technologies
such as a world-class warehouse management system expressly designed to service
customers faster, better and more efficiently than ever before. To ensure
seamless continuity of service, customers will continue to be served locally by
sales, engineering, customer service and other necessary resources including
the expedient availability of equipment.
"This is a new way of
doing business for us that will deliver more integrated solutions and greater
value to our customers," said Harsco Infrastructure CEO Ivor Harrington,
who joined Harsco in July of this year. "Our next phase of implementation
will replicate this model across North America with additional centers in key
strategic locations in the United States and Canada.
Harsco Infrastructure is a
worldwide business group operating in more than 40 countries and specializing
in providing highly engineered rental access, forming, shoring and site support
equipment and services to a broad range of construction and industrial
maintenance applications.
