ROSEVILLE, Minn. - Horton, Inc. is expanding its Britton, S.D., facility by 20,000 square feet. The expansion will accommodate the company's growing QuickShip regional warehouse program. The construction is expected to be completed in October 2011.
Horton's QuickShip program provides fast response to customer needs for the products featured in the fast-delivery program - remanufactured fan drives, repair and conversion kits, fans and other key products. QuickShip was introduced in April 2011 to fulfill small, urgent orders with expanded shipping hours and one-day ground delivery to most major markets.
The expanded space includes 10,000 square feet for warehousing of finished product, 7,000 square feet for raw-material inventory, and 3,000 square feet for a driver's lounge and additional shipping bays.
"Expanding our space will allow us to stock more inventory and a more diverse inventory in support of the QuickShip warehouse program," says Steve Wardleworth, senior vice president, operations. "Getting product to our customers as fast as possible helps to ensure their trucks stay on the road and their off-highway equipment stays in service.
"The trucking and off-highway market is bouncing back from the economic recession, and we're feeling the positive effects of this recovery and are taking steps to continue to provide the excellent responsiveness and service Horton customers expect." The largest employer in the city, Horton has had a presence in Britton for 39 years and last expanded the plant in 2009.
