Curry Supply Co., a leading manufacturer and dealer of commercial service vehicles, has opened a new facility in Houston to serve customers in the southwestern United States.
The 32,000-square-foot facility features an extensive parts and components inventory available for immediate shipping. Heavy duty overhead cranes are installed throughout the facility to move products during the manufacturing and assembly process. Paint and curing booths allows for onsite painting.
Products prepped at the facility will include on- and off-road water trucks, mechanics’ trucks, service trucks, on- and off-road fuel/lube trucks, vacuum trucks, winch trucks, dump trucks, crash attenuator trucks, ship-out tank kits and lube trailers.
“Having a facility in Houston permits us to better serve the construction, equipment rental, oil and gas, and mining industries in the southwest,” said Jason Ritchey, president. “We have always been able to ship our products worldwide, but having sales, parts, and inventory in one of our largest growing markets is a convenience for our customers located in that region.”
Martinsburg, Pa., continues to be the Curry Supply’s worldwide headquarters.
