Merit Brass Company Moves Birmingham Distribution Center to New Facility


BIRMINGHAM, AL – Merit Brass Company moved their Birmingham Distribution Center to a much larger facility just down the street from their previous location. Merit Brass will soon celebrate its 80th anniversary and has become known as the foremost manufacturer of stainless steel, brass and chrome-plated pipe nipples and a leading master distributor of fittings, flanges, pipe/tubing and valves. Merit has earned their reputation as a result of their fervent commitment to providing their customers with high quality service and products. The move began on August 21st and the Company’s Southeast Distribution Center re-opened at 220 Oxmoor Court on August 31st. As a result of this move, Merit Brass will be able to optimize the new warehouse space in a more organized and productive manner. Merit’s CEO/President, Marc Schlessinger commented, “We constantly evaluate opportunities to optimize our customer’s experience with us. The increased efficiencies that will result from this new facility will have a direct and very positive impact on our customers.”

  

Through innovative design and profiling, Merit is able to inventory more products, utilize state-of-the art equipment and expand its will call and shipment capabilities. The new location is nearly double in size, from 33,000 square feet to over 63,000 square feet. There are eleven drive-in docks which allow for quicker and more efficient loading and unloading of product. Merit has also taken advantage of its vertical space throughout the warehouse with new racks that house pipe and related products. With all of this facility’s innovation, Merit Brass is excited to provide their customers with high touch, personalized service that exceeds their expectations. Ron Johnson, the Director of Operations stated, "This project focused on optimizing our customers' needs. We evaluated our vertical space and primary picks to enhance our overall operations. We also wanted to improve our will call capabilities. Our team did a terrific job of moving and getting this facility opened and operating." Merit's additional locations include: headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio and distribution centers in Sparks, Nevada and Dallas, Texas and all of Merit's locations have a sales presence. Merit is fortunate enough to have this opportunity and this move will really enhance their capabilities.
