Walter Surface Technologies Opens New Distribution and Training Center

Walter Surface Technologies Inc. (Windsor, CT), a global industry leader in surface treatment technologies, has announced the opening of a 22,000 sq ft distribution and training center in Dallas, TX. A direct answer to customer needs, this new facility is centrally located at the Freeport Corporate Center, where it directly serves 20 states throughout the Southern and Western U.S.

Dallas is strategically located in relation to Walter’s other distribution centers and offers many logistical advantages. The Dallas Forth-Worth airport is less than ten minutes away from the facility. Many major carriers are located nearby, and this is a major road transportation hub. Also, the ports of Houston and Galveston will allow deliveries direct from the company’s European facilities. The facility’s warehouse and training center are already in full operation.

“We are excited to open this facility to support our business expansion in the Southern and Western United States, as well as to provide dramatically improved service to our distributor partners and users in those areas,” said Jim Welch, the company president. “This warehouse will specifically stock our products that are most in demand in this region, putting the goods much closer to where the work is being done.”

To further support the growth of the business, part of the facility will be a dedicated advanced training center for their distributor metalworking specialists and sales teams. “Local training facilities make it easier for national distributors in the South and West to gain hands on access to company trainers and products. We have doubled the size of our sales organization in this area and the Dallas location will provide additional support to our partners and customers,” continued Welch.
