As a critical component of the logistics and supply chain management landscape, public warehousing provides companies safe storage of goods, as well as combustible chemicals and hazardous materials.

Clariant Corporation Operations Manager Keith Pennington explains how the company’s strategic partnership with American Warehouses reduced transportation and storage costs and simplified the warehousing process.

Leasing warehouse space has the potential to yield some attractive benefits for a business looking to maximize its distribution activities. Doing so, however, represents a significant financial and logistical undertaking, which means the best approach to exploring leasing opportunities is to do so only after considering a number of key factors. 

When it comes to shipping and storing goods, it’s hard to beat Houston. Whether you’re seeking short- or long-term storage, the city’s location, rental prices, and associated services make it worthwhile.

 

Warehousing is an essential service for companies across diverse industries, from manufacturing and wholesale distribution to consumer goods and retail. While some companies are large enough to run their own warehouses, many others lack the necessary resources to do so—making public warehousing services indispensable.

It’s difficult to overstate the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the global economy. Despite central banks’ best efforts, markets remain volatile, with manufacturing, oil and gas, and consumer goods among the worst-hit sectors.

 

No matter if you’re storing dry goods or hazardous chemicals, looking to re-palletize an inbound shipment or simply a place to overnight an outbound order, when searching for the right warehouse space, you should select one that’s not only large enough, but also well organized.

Supply chain management’s goal is to maintain an uninterrupted flow of goods, from the collection of raw materials to manufacture to distribution of the final product. When it comes to managing all the moving parts, warehousing plays an important role in streamlining the supply chain.

American Warehouses has been providing commercial warehousing solutions to the Houston area for more than 70 years, playing a key role in logistics activities throughout the area. Having worked with countless clients as they transport their goods from A to B, we’ve gained significant perspective into the industry and its challenges. One major obstacle that professionals in the industry have been facing in recent years is the trucker shortage.
