Buyers Barricades to Expand Operations into Austin, Texas
Buyers Barricades, a provider of traffic control equipment for the heavy-highway, construction, event, and municipal industries, is expanding into the vibrant Austin, Texas, market, set to open its doors in late summer of 2023.
"We are excited to unveil the opening of our new branch in Austin," said Matt Sauer, vice president of operations for Buyers Barricades. "The opportunity to share our industry expertise, cultivate relationships with new customers, and engage with influential state leaders in Austin and its surrounding areas is the logical next step towards elevating our presence in the traffic control industry."
With well-established offices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area (Richland Hills, Texas), Houston, and San Antonio, the strategic opening of a location in Austin proper will enable Buyers Barricades to enhance its service efficiency throughout the entire state. Customers can expect professional, same-day service from a company that understands the demands of a fast-paced city experiencing unprecedented growth.
Additionally, Buyers Barricades is excited to bring forth a new opportunity for businesses in the Austin area to acquire personal protective equipment through its sister company, Buyers Safety. By integrating Buyers Safety into its operations, Buyers Barricades aims to become the go-to, turn-key safety provider for commercial and heavy highway projects.
Blake Tuggle, CEO of Buyers Barricades and Buyers Safety, expressed his enthusiasm for the move. "Customer satisfaction has always been our top priority, and now, we are thrilled to expand our offerings like never before,” he said. “Our PPE company, Buyers Safety, offers contractors the familiar brands they trust, at prices that will excite them, all under the umbrella of a reputable name they have come to rely on. In a fast-paced city like Austin, where time is of the essence, having all your safety needs met by a single brand will alleviate numerous pain points for our valued customer base."
Buyers Barricades will hold a grand opening in the Austin area in late summer. In the interim, the company will begin serving the area through its San Antonio location.
